More of an annorak question than a technical one but apart from looking different are there any ratio/technical differances between these two axles before I fit one again to my Firenza??   |

the 1256 axles are the same there are 2 different ratios as far as i can remember and there is differences in the braking systems used one is girling and the other is lockheed..
other than that i believe all 1256 axles are the same..

right .... baby engine axles, the two ratios are 4.124:1 or 3.89:1... 3.89 is the more common axle... the 4.124:1 is found on estates and 90 engine models..... basically to make them appear faster they lowered the rear axle ratio  Brakes are a right mess, they are what ever you find on them, not model specific more whatever is on the production line at the time. |
