mantadoc Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Not directly, IIRC people butcher the lower arms to fit to Manta mounts but you need to add more links to four link it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASCONA-HOLIC Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 This makes sense only if it is a Commodore B GSE axle, i.e. 5-stud, the same as was in the Ascona 400 version. Otherwise, I do not see the reason why you should make this conversion. I have fitted such an axle in my ascona b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rutts Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Better off with the opel record estate axle. Stronger than Commodore axle. Or a salisbury 4ha with Jag 5 stud hubs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantasrme Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 The Opel Record E1/E2 has a 5 linked back axle with 4 bolt hubs as standard, its a tad wider than the manta axle (think its 1" or 2" from memory) But the same axle design and takes the same diff, It doesn't have a torque tube setup just a 2 piece propshaft. You can also get a full Polybush setup from germany for the 5 links to stifen it up a bit. Not that there are many Record estates kicking around any more, well apart from the one in my back garden (and no its not for sale ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
