Differential Identification

[CamO]

Hi everyone,

Call this a shot in the dark but does this diff look familiar to you? It has a 4x108 PCD and I've struggled to find what it's from. It's not any of the Fords or anything else for that matter so I'm really hoping it's from a Peugeot 403? Ignore most of the brackets you see as they are custom, the handbrake cable brackets and leaf spring perches are original. Another clue is the handbrake is cable not mechanical (leaver out the back) and has a single wheel cyl. located at the top (12 o'clock) which is double ended.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated...Bonus points for naming the brand casted in the carrier!

Are not old Pug live axle casings circular in section where they join the diff? This one has two parallel sides, and looks as though leaf springs were fitted.

Is there a mark cast on the top? Are the bolts metric or other?

Whatever it is it isn’t from a 403, and no other Peugeot I’ve seen.

No chance on guessing this diff, you'll need to do more scratching around the casing to see if any letters/numbers turn up. It would seem to be a small car type seeing as there's only 4 wheel studs hanging off the end. Pug rear ends look a bit different than your mystery one. Any points for a roughy guess?

Early Cortina's ran 4x108

if axle bearings have threaded nut retaining bearing instead of shrink ring and going, by handbrake cable mount bracket rear of spring pad I would say possibly Mazda,?......jim
