Hybrid_From_Hell Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Hi all i have been trying to save a 6 wheel drive through unit all was going well until the last bit of assembly it has a what looks like a center differential which I think has been modified prob is is seized solid in 2 llaces 1st is one of the 4 gears which as you can see from picture has got bonkers hot and welded itself to the cross shaft the 2nd is the drive gear in housing the other on a long shaft has come out after some work the company that made these kits is long gone but looking at this I think it’s sort of LR ish ? there may be some bonkers work to sort out if I can find what this is and get bits etc - it looks like one end has been welded on as some conversion ? anyone know what this might be / was pre modification ? fe pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Poore Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 What did it come out of? If it's a Hotspur / Sandringham unit then I've got one here and might be able to provide some assistance. I know the directive from Land Rover to Hotspur was to keep as many parts as possible standard LR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted May 13 Author Share Posted May 13 Is the one you have for spares etc or f of nige its in my truck ? 🤣 I'm not 100% sure what model it is other than I know company no longer in existence. I am hoping that I can either identify the bits needed LR wise or modify as I think it has been done ? Any help would be hugely apprewacited all Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Poore Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 It's in my bloody truck. You ain't having it. Unless you're going to add a locker to it as way of thanks. Probably not the most helpful but here are some picks of the complete unit. Prop comes from the LT95 transfer box, through idler to middle diff pinion, idler then through shaft. Through shaft then comes out the back to the rear of the trussed casing and takes drive to the rear axle. This was all based off a Stage 1 V8 so running 3.54 diffs but series drive flanges. I haven't pulled a half shaft to check splines but I could. I assume it's a standard diff centre the way they've done the drop box on the front but I haven't pulled it apart. Hotspur was dissolved a long time ago so no longer around. I could pull the rear prop off and see if the end attached to the diff casing looks like yours? There's a chance I might be able to see the splines without having to take off the nut or does the washer cover it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pat_pending Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 LT95 by the looks of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 LT95 centre diff was going to be my guess too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddy Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 These are what a Boughton 6x6 unit looks like if that's any help. If it's from the LR stable and its not LT230 it really can only be LT95? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 I'm not familar with series bits... but is it some mix of bits from the 2wd/4wd section of the series transferbox with diff bits added? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rightfoot Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 So it is the Scottorn / Reynolds Boughton one, and it looks like we've established they're LT95 bits - fingers crossed and thanks all for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
