    Marina Van Axle For Sale

    Hi,

    I know how rare these are so I hope this will help someone on here.
    Over on the Caterham forum someone is selling a van axle for £100.

    Nothing to do with me. Just thought it might be useful to the trials people on here.

    Any one interested should check if its from a 7cwt or 10cwt van as only the later has the uprated hubs.
    Ben Caswell probably not the last word on anything here!!

      Good point Ben. As this is the Caterham boys, it will almost definitely be the 7cwt so probably no good. Unless this person bought it by mistake and then found out it wouldn't fit.

        Ratio is the important clincher. Ital vans had a standard Marina 'car' 4.11 axle, not the heavier duty 4.55.
