110 rear axle

(1/3) > >>

MuddyMachine:
I am rebuilding my 110 chassis up.

The rear axle has seen better days and its on drum brakes.

Will a disco/RRC rear axle fit? Is it strong enoug?, as it is heavier duty axle compared to my 90.

cheers

Wolfie:
I don't think the disco axle would be up to it if the 110 was loaded to it's capacity. 300tdi 110s had a disc braked Salibury which could be one option. The other is the TD5 axle which is a Rover type but with a 4 pin diff, which is one of the jobs that the racer needs as I bent the salisbury quite well last time out but we're still waiting for it to be strengthened.

Ah yes that's the third option, a Wolf axle but not easy to come by.

Regards

Wolfie

markyb:
can you buy the 300 tdi bits for the salisbury and bolt it on to make a easy disk conversion.

TDi90:
i just did one for my 90 last weekend baz...
im sure it muse be okay for a 110.

mmgemini:
The Salisbury was originally fitted to the series three to stop rear halfshaft breakages in two wheel drive.
Now you all know the series was part time four wheel drive.

Also the new 2007 Defender 110 I've seen has a "normal" Rover like rear axle.

Apart from the carrying weight. Somebody please tell mt the GVW of a Range Rover Classic and a Discovery. I don't see that a Discovery axle should give any problems.

The Salisbury as I keep telling people wasn't called the "bullit" axle by Foed for fun. It is bullit proof and will stand a lot more use and abuse than a Rover type axle.

My ten bobs worth.
