Unidentified rear axle

#1 Post by Marginadotopolino » Sun Jun 19, 2016 9:12 pm

Hi guys, I'm building a nostalgia drag car and I have an I identified rear axle. The only marks on it are 2e19 cast into the carrier and z015 marked on the gear. Can anyone shed light on it? It's a banjo type axle

If it has saddles below the tubes for trap springs, then with that gear it's 3.63:1 from a Marina, if it has brackets for trailing arms on the lower outer ends of the tubes and above the tubes either side of the diff casing, then same axle, but from a Triumph 1500TC or Dolomite. These are only just strong enough for their native applications though, so unless the drag car is to be driven gently :oops: , maybe look for something from a Volvo. ;)
