photos was the one thing i did not do, i could get some at the weekend but they would just show hubs on truck etc. i used 200tdi discovery hubs. i got the scarp swivel and cut the flange off so i could fit it to the axle to mark holes. you would need to grind flat the face on the axle then the swivel flange will fit with the axle seal removed. i clocked mine at zero caster as i was using discovery difs. this is all to do with the clearence for track rod. the discovery dif has a flat on its belly and the rod will clear. you should check this to see clearance as you may need to work at -caster. the rod will go though the spring, but if you fit blocks under the axle where it is bolted to the spring they will clear. i drilled and tapped the axle and reused bolts for swivel and bolted it up. i then had to use the half shaft from the disco but as you may know they are longer. so they will have to be cut and weided. they best way i found was to machine down one part and drill other so one part would fit in other. make it so heat was needed to get them to fit then weid with stick. if you did this at one end and not in the centre of the shaft you won't have to worry about the weid pulling it off stright.

i fitted discovery hubs and swivels on mine, which gave me disc brakes but also c.v joints. there is some engineering to do to make them work but i think far less than what i have seen on other trucks.

thats the black magic of land rover wiring i have used two other switchs from a differant disco, but still the same.

i know this may have been covered alot here but i feel that my fault will not fall under any here. same old thing, rear windows not workings. maybe some time out of the blue they will go down and come back up but then not work at all. i have changed window E.C.U..... window switchs from front to rear (fronts work fine) and also fitted a window regulator. still no closer to finding out what is wrong with. any other ideas. john

mine fitted fine....

what about if i just used the swivels from a later axle, to get disc brakes but kept the series axle?

great help, thanks guys. one to think about.

so if i changed my 1971 1092a. put in a 200tdi and a lt77. with power steering and front disc brakes would that still be tax excempt? what are peoples thoughts on this?
