Revised rear axle fitted from 5/2/96 - All models

Evening All !
Because my 24V Cossie Ultima was 'born' on 22/11/95 (which makes it a true Scorpio, if you're into Astrology!), I wondered what was modified on the rear axle system as a result of the above revision  I bought new rear brake hoses recently and found they were significantly longer than those already fitted - "FordpartsUK" (who are generally very knowledgeable) insisted they were correct - I'm just wondering whether I'll have a problem "trying to keep the slack out of the way" if I install them
Info would be much appreciated!
Cheers
Keith

The rear of the diff was originally mounted to the car body via a single centre bush on the backplate
Yours should be like this Keith
The newer set up has a larger subframe fitted which the rear of the diff is mounted to via the diff backplate but through two bushes, one either side.
the diffs are the same and the single or double mount backplates are interchangable.
You can see the two types on fig 10 and fig 12 here

other than that i cant see any other differences

Hi Highlander,
Many thanks for that info - It doesn't seem to be a major modification so i'm not quite sure why it should influence the length of the rear brake hoses
Cheers

Not sure, possibly the bracket where the brake pipe connects to the flexi hose is in a different place??
I have both types here, I will have a look tomorrow and see
