bushwhacker Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I am thinking of changing my rear drums to discs on my 1986 110 csw it has a Salisbury diff/axle. Will the parts mentioned in the technical archive apply and fit my older axle. Namely ftc 3306 x 2 caliper brkts,stc 1268 x rh caliper and stc 1269 lh caliper. Any thoughts anyone.

western Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Spoken to a mate, he sent me this info hope it helps yes, those brackets will fit all the older salisburies (and series 3 axles too), they bolt on using 4 of the stub axle bolts. Like my tech article showed, he'll either need the genuine salisbury stub axles (FTC1740 £76.45 each) if he wants to use late hubs (FTC942 £81.70 EACH) and thus keep everything "factory", or he could get the early 23 spline front hubs (FRC6139 £305.65 each ...or buy a complete axle for about £50 ) and keep the original drum braked stubs (FRC3132 or FRC8540,not sure what the difference is), and then make the spacer thing up to move the caliper over.

bushwhacker Posted August 14, 2009 Author Share Posted August 14, 2009 Here goes Thanks for the info, but I am having a mixed up sort of day. Trying to get my head around the options available to me Buy an complete axle for £50ish,is that a Salisbury disc type? has any one got one out there let me know please. I thought they would be like hens teeth! It could be pricey for carriage to NI. Or keep my drum braked stub axles and make up the spacers (6mm I think was his). Plus 2x caliper brkts ftc3306 and 2x calipers stc1268 stc1269 and 2x discs (rear 110s)I think this would be the way to go if I have got it right. I know a 90/110 is not a Defender 90/110 and thats about it but I am learning. The hubs at £305.65 are out of the question for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Drum braked Salisbury then swap the hubs/brake parts but keep the drum braked stub axles. & fit the disc hubs/disc/calipers using the 6mm spacer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul the plumber Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 i just bought another axle & swaped it over it is a lot quicker & at least you know that you have all the right parts & it will work. rember it is your brakes we are talking about.

bushwhacker Posted August 16, 2009 Author Share Posted August 16, 2009 Hi paul the plumber, your not giving much away. Was it a 110 you did the change on? How much did you pay for the axle? Was it a Salisbury type. I am over in NI so an axle would be a double pallet size. I am watching 2 on ebay. I think new calipers n pads,brackets,and discs will be the way to go for me. I have done some brake work before and I am very aware of the safety factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushwhacker Posted August 17, 2009 Author Share Posted August 17, 2009 Hi muddy, Can I just ask why you needed hubs if you got whole axle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
