Portal axles

BIG_ORANGE_90:
:? I have been offered a set of unimog portal axles to use put my 90, but will they fit easily
Is there modification needed to the axle or my chassis?

muddyweb:
I would suspect the answer to that question is a definite yes.

The suspension components are different between the two vehicles, so you will need to make the two bits compatible.

BIG_ORANGE_90:
How would i make them compatable ?
Replicate the landrover mounts onto the mog axles?

thermidorthelobster:
Mmmmm.... Portal axles, Marge....

I've always assumed you need to do something clever to stop the torque effect of the portal part from twisting the axle.  There are a few LRs out there with portal axles, including a Disco somewhere in the UK, but I've never looked close enough to suss it out.

Keep us posted, this sounds an interesting project.

Take a look here :

Should give you some idea of what is involved.
