jonboylaw Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Hi all, Does anyone have a photo of an Ital Axle? I have an LA car and was just getting ready to convert it to Ford, but it looks like I may have a car that is already converted (previous owner did not mention it though..). I would like to compare the axle I have with an Ital one... so can anyone send me a picture or link? Cheers, Jonathan ----------------------------------- Ital or Ford... the choice is yours.... Hmmm, I'll have the ford please Bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alextangent Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 If you want to see one in the flesh as it were, just let me know (on Jock7s too). In Edinburgh. I'll see if I can take photos tomorrow and post them up too. Alex McDonald A loud 1700 SS in bits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonboylaw Posted March 8, 2008 Author Share Posted March 8, 2008 Hi Alex, That would be cool, if you fancy a drive over tomorrow you can see the Megajolt etc... Else the photos would be great... If I do have the Ford Axle, then I have spares that could help if you want to go the same route.. Drop me a PM with your contact details. I sent you mine on the Jock 7's site. Manx - Mine looks to be very similar (slightly different bracketing), I tried my new half shafts in the spare wheel and the PCD was spot on, so I am guessing I have Ford... if this is the case then I will be a very happy man. Thanks for the pictures. Jonathan ----------------------------------- Ital or Ford... the choice is yours.... Hmmm, I'll have the ford please Bob.

alextangent Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 It's in bits! Trying to get it back on the road this week. Got your email tonight, will call you tomorrow. You could call round if your in Edinburgh; I'm not too far from the bypass & easy to find. Alex McDonald A loud 1700 SS in bits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonboylaw Posted March 8, 2008 Author Share Posted March 8, 2008 Thanks Alex, Give me a buzz in the morning. I doubt if I could get around as my weekends tend to be packed (single Father of 2 young ladies....). What are you doing to yours? Mine is partially disassembled for obvious reasons.

Rox. Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Does anyone know any good site with some pictures of converting to Ford axel? /Johan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonboylaw Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 Johan, Look at Phil's site as linked above, lots of good info there for you... Thanks for the ital pictures, I am certain that I have the Ford axle as I can see the diff is the same and there is modding to the tunnel.. this saves me a huge task... Now just need to whip out the diff and swap them over, leaving the axle in situ. All, thanks for your help on this topic.. I noticed that my A-Frame is also modded, I will post some photos as it looks like a good Mod as it totally removes the axle bush problem.

alextangent Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Pics in your inbox. I'm just on a corrosion reduction and new suspension bushes/bolts plan at the moment. Alex McDonald A loud 1700 SS in bits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rox. Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Thanks! Im looking forward to see pictures of your frame. /Johan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philwaters Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Argh - stupid me... I should have said mine is a Ford axle, not an Ital... so might be worth comparing the pics. Phil Waters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonboylaw Posted March 10, 2008 Author Share Posted March 10, 2008 Well, after all the photos and also putting the new ford half shaft hubs in the current wheels, it is certain I have a Ford axle :) Thanks to all for the help :) 😬 😶🌫️ *thumbup* Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
