Are 110 axles any different to a 90?

Are 110 axles any different to a 90? can i put a pair of 110 axles straight onto a 90? I have just purchased a 110 which i would like to use as a donor vehicle to my 90 project. I would like to transfer, engine, axles, gearbox and all running gear! is this possible???
Porny:
Front axle:
In a fitment sense... no....
Internally.... slightly....
And they have bigger brake calipers as standard.
Will bolt straight on without any problems....
Rear axle:
Can also be made to fit.... but is a bit more involved - and you need a custom propshaft.
What engine and box are in the 110??...

oh dear, the rear one sounds bad!!! is it complicated??? I suppose a local engineering firm could make me a custom prop shaft?
farm4x4:
The engine is the 2.5 non turbo powerless thing! the gearbox... im not sure until i get it home tomorrow and start stripping it down.
Porny:
Not that bad...
Need to fit 90" spring seats to the rear axle (bolt on).. and then it'll fit.
110's have a larger diameter rear spring compared to a 90".
The more difficult part is the propshaft. Salisbury axles were never fitted to 90's so you can't get a propshaft off the shelf... but easy enough to get one modified.
The Salisbury is much stronger than a standard 90 axle, but does hang a bit lower. Is it a disc braked one, or drum braked???
If disc, they fetch decent money, so you could sell it on, and get a very good 90 (or Disco or RR) one instead - means everythings standard.
What engine and box are you fitting??
I may have a suitable propshaft!!! :wink:
Do you need any other bits??? - plug for my add in the for sale section :wink:
