white90 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Yes it keeps carp away from the seal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsr341 Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 yep thats the ring , how does it keep the carp away from the seal ? my first thought it could fit ''tight'' in the back of the disc but it doesnt so just helps keep the carp IN the back of the disc around the seal p.s mods i must have put this in the wrong section , is there an option in my settings of an automated reply when a mod moves my post so i know where its gone too ?

white90 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 By making the area between the hub and the stub axle smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 The ring was not fitted to later vehicles - even though everything else stayed the same. I would bin them. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happyoldgit Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 my bad thought i had put it up in international ? Yes I moved it as it's a vehicle specific query. There is no automated notification other than keeping a link in the original forum which tends to lead to a lot of clutter. I'm afraid I just don't have time to PM every member to inform them that their respective posts have been moved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having worked in the trade and supplied many pattern parts, I have seen a large percentage returned because the machining isn't up to standard and the bearings don't fit properly. If you can swallow the prices, buy genuine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsr341 Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 priced up genuine stub today , £78.27 +vat patten around £38 recon i may just try lay my hands on a ''speedy seal'' ring and repair my stub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white90 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 The ring was not fitted to later vehicles - even though everything else stayed the same. I would bin them.Les. So was the option to adjust preload on the wheel bearings with staked nuts instead not all progress is good and things left off of later models is probably cost saving rather than beneficial.

Les Henson Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 A bit like the brake disc inner shield then. It's there for a purpose, but a lot of people remove them. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 That just seemed to trap a load of Slindon grinding stones/paste into my discs on mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantd5 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 that ring. i'm not sure if you need it or not thought. That axle has enjoyed better days. Need replacement else wheels might give away one day..

eustacebros Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Point of order, Land rover call this plate a locking ring ??? The ring was not fitted to later vehicles - even though everything else stayed the same. I would bin them.Les. I have just dismantled a salisbury rear axle from an early TD5 and it has thes plates, described in the parts book as locking plates, although the stub axle bolts have locking compound on them. I can see that the plate does reduce the gap between stub axle disc though. Strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
