As above putting disco axles ona defender.

Can i put the 4 bolt flange from the original axle on the rear diff to get rid of that rubber coupling??

anybody done this before? as always any advice greatfully recieved

Cheers Bill

Yes I believe you can. Fairly common thing to do as well.

Got a  rear disco axle i changed its internals for the defenders diff and driveshafts and 2 driveshaft roller bearing only part diffrent i found.
Straight swap. I have no idea how you remove them rubber mounts for disco props.

how do you get the rear flange of the disco diff???

Bill,

Hope this helps http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=14403

Luke thats great thanks

Ok hit a slight snag.

Old axle was a salisbury new axles arent.

Different size propshafts!!!!

Anybody got a rear one for a 110. or could they recomend where to get one!!

Will get this finished eventualy

cheers Bill

You have the patience of a saint. Most of us would have torched it by now !

dont tempt me!!

and its such a joy to work on in this weather!

I know ! The 2a is parked up immobile in the one shed I can get a LR in, so the 90s gearbox oil got changed lying on a plastic sheet on the snow :-(

Its not got above freezing all day here so the "thaw" has yet to do its job on our track - so my car is still stuck at the house. OK, I enjot driving the LR but its flaming expensive when the daily commute is 150 miles !

That sound expensive!!!

Could someone even advise me which shaft i need as their seems to be quite a choice!!

Hi Bill,
        there's no prop made to fit as this wasn't a factory fit, the closest would be for a 2002 onwards 110 which has a p38 range rover diff with a shorter nose than the salisbury so might be closer in length. It's either that or propshaft services and have one made.
 I would have left the salisbury on the 110 as it's 4 pin and pretty bullet proof even if its still got drums and put the disco rear on the 90 to give disc brakes on the rear, it's a straight swap onto the 90 once the diff flange is changed.

not good news just spent all day fitting this to 110!!!

Sorry mate, don't mean to be negative. I would measure from flange on transfer box to diff flange with the 110 sitting with the weight on its wheels, take the new length required and phone propshaft services for a price to have one made up out of your original prop. This would be quicker than trying to match one up.

Stevie where are they based??
