The brakes might be a different size (yours will just bolt on). And your prop will need shortening by around an inch. It'll ruin your ground clearance though.

selectcase Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 If you want a ready made prop for the conversion I have one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbocharger Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 If you want a ready converted axle, with the spring seats moved across already, I've got one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 If you want the ground clearance back, have a look here. A worthwhile mod sticking a salisbury on IMHO, much stronger than Rover axles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest diesel_jim Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 When i fitted a salisbury to my 90, the prop needed shortening by 1 3/4" IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Why not go the whole hog and chop the other one up to make a Salisbury front? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
