jad Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Morning Guys, Can anyone confirm if there are any differences between 10 and 24 spline casings? I want to redo the leaf spring mounts on my converted axle to gain some castor angle which should be possible now I have parabolic springs fitted as there is more space for the steering bar and also to bring the mounts slightly closer together as I think they are slightly too far apart which is causing my chassis bushes to fail prematurely! Will also allow me to redo bump stops properly! Not much then.... So I am either looking for a 24 spline axle (with or without internals to keep as spares) or I am wondering if I can get away with a 10 spline casing? Thanks Jad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiddler Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Casings are the same apart from some age or model related brackets like anti-roll bar mounts or shock mounts. Sounds like you're likely to cut off most of that stuff anyway so I think you're good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jad Posted February 15, 2021 Author Share Posted February 15, 2021 Thanks tiddler, yeah all of the bracketry would be coming off so changes in that aren't important. Suppose the main things would be stub axle bolt pattern and thread size and then the same for the diff attachment point... Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulcan bomber Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 I'll have an axle case available in 6weeks or so, wants mounted replacing so could be the perfect donor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jad Posted February 15, 2021 Author Share Posted February 15, 2021 I'm not in a rush so consider it sold! Just give me a shout when you want it gone and let me know how much you want 👍 Cheers VB! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon W Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 The only thing which differs is the swivel housing number of bolts on some of the very early 10 spline I think. I also have a front axle case sitting here needing a home. Front radius arm brackets a bit bent, but you would be removing those anyway. I am on the look out for a 300tdi era rear axle casing if anyone has one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jad Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 Thanks for the offer John. I would take you up on it but see you are a little further away than VB which makes things harder at the moment... Maybe if you still have it when lockdown lifts I could make the trip. Unfortunately no axles lying around so wouldn't be able to swap with you. Thanks Jad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem, I'll probably forget though so if you hear nothing, drop me a PM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
