Thinking about welding up the rear diff on me series 3 lwb with salisbury rear axle. It is just my toy so boy massive distance on the road but certainly not trailering it everywhere, so have started to think about putting a freewheeling hub on one rear.
My landrover had 2 FWH's on the front when I got it, so took one off, took off the right rear flange and pushed on the FWH and nipped up the bolts, there's about 1/4" gap from the end of the half shaft and the circlip in the FWH. I'm happy with the amount of engagement, and the half shaft can't come out, but I don't want it to go in anymore than it is. I'm going to take the diff unit out to see if the halfshaft is stopped from going in anymore.
I just thought I'd write my thoughts so far on here and just see what others know/have found, I've got a feeling the halfshaft has gone too far into the diff already which is why it looks like it's too short, I'll have a better look somewhen else
