RRC Rear disc conversion on 90

(1/2) > >>

bigfatsi:
I recently bought an axle from a Range Rover Classic to take the diff out for my 90. (Cheers Richie) Now the axle has the rear discs on and I'm wondering if I can stick em on my 90 axle? I can't swap the whole thing because unfortunately at some point in it's life someone cut off the spring hangers/mounts. Can I remove the 'Discy bits' (Technical term) and bolt em on in place of the drums on the 90 axle?

Simon.

extreme90:
nope wont fit
but u could buy some new spring seats, weld um on and then stick it under
or just get another disk break axle cheap enough, should be able 2 pick a complete un up 4 50 ish quid

Paddocks are advertising the "Rear Axle Brackets" on the first page of their latest ad in LRE for £5.88 each.  :wink:

extreme90:
now am not sure but inst it a imperial axle  :?
as in a previous thread u were asking if a imperial diff will fit into a metric casing
to tell if your axle is imperial or metric simply look at the shocker mounts and if they r both on same side its metric, if they  on opposite sides its imperial, if its imperial it wont fit unless you weld some new shock mounts on aswel

bigfatsi:
I think the axle is imperial. Come to think about it, as someone mentioned earlier, I wouldn't be able to put any oil in it if I swapped my metric diff in anyway! The oil filler is on the other diff!  :lol:
D'uh.
