Burton Power is pleased to announce an upgrade to its Single Piece Competition Propshaft for Mk2 Escorts RS models and Mk1/2 Escorts running a Rocket or 5 Speed gearbox to an English or Atlas rear axle. All propshafts are now fitted with an upgraded transmission sleeve to eradicate any reliability issues under extreme race conditions.
This propshaft is built to the same specification as the original Group 1 prop shaft. The single use propshaft is much stronger than the original two-piece item by virtue of the removal of the centre bearing and the the use of larger diameter tubing.. It is suitable as a direct replacement for the original prop or for competition use and fits all standard RS2000s or Escorts using Rocket or 5 speed gearbox (Sierra 5 Speed or Cosworth 2wd Borg Warner T5) and English or Atlas axles.
This is a high quality item manufactured in the UK – not a cheap inferior import. The vast majority of imports use rather crude forgings which are heavier and the tubing spec. can often be suspect. The tube specification used on the Burton propshafts is SAE 1020/1040, as per original RS specification. The end float in the universal joints is controlled by varying the thickness of the circlips which gives a smoother joint action and better control over straightness and dynamic balance. All shafts are checked and corrected for straightness. The aim is to have no greater runout on any part of the tube of more than 0.25mm (compared to the original Ford specification of 0.35mm). All shafts have been dynamically balanced at 3000rpm to ISO specification G16.
