uninformed Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Hi all, I have 2 rover diff centres ( the main cast housing, crown wheel and pinion and carrier/differential). Im after a bit of info. Any idea what they are from? early RRC? on the underside of the cast housing, there is a large flat section with two blind holes threaded. What is this thread? (im guessing 3/8 BSF) is there any strength difference between the older 10 spline pinions and the later pinions? cheers Serg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil110 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 They could be from a Range Rover, a Discovery or a Defender. The two holes, from memory, are UNC. They are there to enable fitment of a track rod guard when the differential is installed in a front axle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uninformed Posted January 19, 2019 Author Share Posted January 19, 2019 Not likely a 90 as they were not sold in Australia until the Td5s. As for the thread, I was chasing it with a 3/8 UNC cleaning tap and it just doesnt seem right. BSF is right between UNC and UNF for pitch count. Minor Dia was about right for BSF. Ill have to grab a bolt on Monday and see if it fits the other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hybrid_From_Hell Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Anorak outing time Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay 😍 Thats an Metric casing. So, most Likley thats a 3.54 not a 4.7:1 and 10 spline all 10 spline are the same all weak Carrier cap bolts are going to be M12 CWP Bolts most likley 3/8s UNF 4 Spline Pinion Flange and early seal type with suacer shield / mud trap LOL Casing is stronger than Imperial ealier units but not even earlier Split casing as some had bigger head and tail bearings Center is very weak, 16mm pin, puma is 24 spline ...a bit better at 18mm pin but both junk IMHO From early 90 or early 2 door RR some cross overs have a filler plug in diff casing but not all Nige 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you recommend a TIG filler rod if I ever decide to peg it cheers for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Member Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 You need to get the newer flange with the R&P. The rest will be fine. Maxidrive lockers require welding on the axle tube for installation of the locking mechanism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 You can put one of my superflange kits on it ... and it would also be able to take the late Punma Type and seal and is the 24 spline version with bolt down the send, have a lookie at webshop. Use FTC5150 on CWP stronger bolts and no washers torque to 55 ft lbs with loctite - note ONCE USE BOLT !! Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
