uninformed

fuel tank, pump and lines as well I would think? Different belhousing and input shaft to gearbox?

I’m wondering if Quaffie where involved...

thank you @landroversforever looks like the coil sprung rear arch is more semetrical or boxy so to speak.. Old swb didnt get the wheel very centred lol can anyone tell me the measurement from axle centreline to rear of a 88" and the 90

Thanks Mike, not too concerned about the location, more so size and shape. I would be fitting flares over them.

Hey all, how much difference is there between a series and a coil sprung rear wheel arch ( the actual alloy panel) dimensional differences? shape differences? cheers Serg

you can also put the bearing cup in the freezer

Regarding underneath vs on top.... for what these are doing, underneath will be in tension, top side will be in compression. Now its been pointed out to me that steel, has the same strength in both tension and compression IF BUCKLING CAN BE ELIMINATED. How one does this with the same materail size I do not know. Example, get some 3mm mild steel wire. Hang it vertically, how much weight would it hold at the bottom.... stand it vertically, how much weight would it support at top? Problem with any of these added to a stock housing is the added stiffness ends well before the axle flanges..... not ideal but not saying they are junk either

Thans for that guys (thumbs up!) Tyres look narrower in my pic than in that link. Im sure its just the illusion. No LR diffs by the looks though

I found this pic on Instagram. No details or such. Does anyone know of it? Any guess of tyre and size?

cant imagine LR taking a backward step in engineering quality.... theyve been doing that for decades! compare 200Tdi to 300Tdi timing gears for a start

Has anyone converted their defender ,300 Tdi onwards, to AUE2522 cvs, FRC420 stubs and FRC6139 hubs? This is the cv, stub and hub off 110 Land rovers. I know that plenty converted to using the AEU2522 in the standard stub and hub on 300 Tdi onwards to get the stronger CV, but wondering if the stub and hub bolt up with no problem as well. Serg

Castrol Syntrans

just having a look around , it doesnt seem like too many options for a 300 Tdi?? More reading brought up the "claim" of Chinese made Allisport. Any truth to this? is it the core? This was a recent claim. Articale in 2018, but vehicle was a 2014 and apparently had 2 x allisport split and then went to BAS. But no idea on time frame?

Hi all , I require some measurements if possible. The width of a disc brake Sals 110, axle housing flange to axle housing flange The thickness of the axle housing flange on a DRUM brake 110 Sals The thickness of the mounting surface on a 1995> disco rear stub axle - FTC3188 (with the scollop cut out for ABS) - also defender rear 2007 onwards cheers Serg

Hey all, in the near future I’ll be looking for a full width intercooler for a 300Tdi 110. I was looking at Alisport, but it seems a few blokes here in Aus have had problems with them cracking etc. Is this a known problem with this brand or others. What other brands worth a look? Serg

OEM doesnt nessecarily mean LR

1000s of maxi drive HD drag links and track rods sold over the years and have not heard of them causing failure of the other steering componets... The stock steering links are completely under done. Trying to excuse or reason this is just BS IMO

Typical LR pig headedness... The drag link and track rod has been a known problem or many many DECADES, yet they did nothing about it. Ive seen them bent on LRs that have never been offroad!

Im not sure if things have changed or not... But back when Longfield (Bobby Long) was getting his CVs made it was by RCV (then known as Rockford Aeromatic) He started the "small ball" idea to increase bell thickness... Problem is it creates a larger stress riser as the load is flowing through a smaller contact point due to the smaller radius. I think he ended up going away from this. AFAIK Ashcrofts gets theirs made by RCV as well? I think Ashcrofts fit the market well, I guess if you are breaking theirs maybe time to reconsider the complete diff/axle set up . Is there anyone else making high quality AM cvs for LRs?

What material are they made from? Any idea of heat treat hardness? Have they changed the ball size or other component sizes?

Ok, need some help with 2 hubs I have, They will be the second generation of coil sprung disc brake hubs. First gen being up to 1985. So im guessing 1986-93 maybe?. They look identical to the hub in the pic. They measure the same seal depth and inner bearing seat depth as it (I believe the one in the pic to be early RRC) But they have smaller bearing spacing (by about 9mm or so) One has a WMS to rotor mounting surface (RMS) of ~38.4mm (same as early RRC) and the other ~22.4mm

hmmm adding more weight and a material that will make the steel and other metals rust/corrode etc faster than the Aluminium. I would not think that a good idea. Wouldnt it be better to hot dip gal the steel parts in contact with the Aluminum?

There is NO replacement for this alternator. Neither genuine or aftermarket. The only option is the M&D modified custom alternator. Some repairs are possible but not everything of course.

Thanks, I had read that thread at some point lol... so many searches my head hurts. Yes those stubs pictured, and the ones on your Sals, will MOST PROBABLY be FRC8540. The second stub to be fitted to drum brake rear 110 and 90 according to parts catalogues. This change happend about 1986? and ran through untill the 110 went to discs in 1994. Funny that both the 90 and 110 have the same part number/stub axle as NORMALLY I thought the rover rear end had the stub axle locate internally in the axle flange where as the Sals has the stub locate around the dia of the axle flange I am hearing some confirmation, but yet to comfirm with my own eyes and measuring that there is indeed 3 different wheel bearing spacings. It will take not only the stubs but also the hubs to prove this. Im slowly buying bits or sourcing tem to do so....
