bodumatau Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Hello all does anyone have accurate measurements of the track width of the Salsbury axle, I have measured and get about 1555mm (61,02 inches) or generally for the defender, what is the track width (without wheels on, just axle track width) does anyone have drawings of the front and rear axles for the defender, I need to bend up some new axle mountings any info would be appreciated. kind regards to all Heiko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil110 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 The rear axle fitted to the 110 prior to some time around 2000 is the Dana 60" axle. You might find some of the information you seek if you try looking up Dana and contacting them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodumatau Posted November 8, 2018 Author Share Posted November 8, 2018 Dana is almost impossible to contact, been at it for a couple of weeks now, closest I have come is an axle assembly company called Dynatrac in the USA who use DANA axles and who specialise rather in jeeps than LR, the Salsbury axle is not quite a Dana 60, perhaps the differential casing and the ring gear are the same but the axle tubes and wall thickness of the axle tubes are not, unless Dana have changed their specs significantly in the last years. so now I am trying to get Dynatrac to build me up some new axles for my Land Rover fleet which is why I need some info and help from the forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Member Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Well, it is "Dana". That is who made the axles. Well "GKN Driveline" made the axles. GKN is part of Dana. Nobody is going to give you detailed drawings though. http://www.gkndriveline.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was think more along the line of perhaps someone had had to replace the mounting brackets on the axle and had some drawings of those that they could share with me.

Ex Member Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 You can buy mounting brackets pre-made from YRM. It is not worth the effort building them at the price they sell them at. https://yrmit.co.uk/product-category/land-rover-defender-110/rear-axlesuspension-land-rover-defender-110/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
