To connect Rocket or Type 9 five speed gearbox to English/Atlas Axle on Ford Escort Mk1/Mk2
Burton Power is pleased to announce it can now offer a single piece propshaft based on the Group 1 version to fit all standard RS2000s and Escort Mk1/2 using a Rocket or 5 speed gearbox and an English or Atlas axle.
By using a larger diameter tubing and not incorporating the centre bearing, this single piece propshaft is much stronger than the original two piece item. It is suitable as a direct replacement for the original prop or for competition use.
It is a high quality item manufactured in the UK, not a cheap inferior import. Most imports use rather crude forgings which are heavier and the tubing specification can often be suspect.
The tube specification used on the Burton propshafts is SAE 1020/1040, as per the original factory 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 Burton shafts are checked then corrected for straightness; there is no runout on any part of the tube greater than 0.25mm (compared to the original specification of 0.35mm). Dynamic balance is at 3000rpm to ISO specification G16. All Burton propshafts are now fitted with an upgraded transmission sleeve to eradicate any reliability issues under extreme race conditions.
Suitable for:
Ford Escort Mk2 RS Mexico 1975-1978 • RS1800 1975-1977 • RS2000 1976-1980
- Escort Mk2 fitted with 4 speed Rocket or 5 speed Type 9 gearbox 1975-1980 • Escort Mk1 fitted with a 4 speed Rocket or 5 speed Type 9 gearbox and a Mk2 diff flange 1968-1974.
Order as PROPENG at £240.00 (inc VAT)
