SHY 7G Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Hi all, I have a RRC rolling chassic on a 1993 plate (KA******) and the rear axle is structurally well passed it's used by date. Question: If I am unable to get/use a rear axle off a RRC can I replace it with one off either a defender or a discovery? Having had a look at both all the brackets and mounts are in the same place. Any help and advise will be greatly apprciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbekko Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Should be the same, as long as the Defender axle isn't a Salisbury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheltie50 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Just the same so long as it's not Salsbury, make sure that the brakes are disc and not drum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meathumper Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 All the same, just exept brakes. A Salsbury can be fitted you need to shorten your prop though. Personaly i would get a td5 4 pin diff axle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teslo Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 all from Disco 1 and defender( except salisbury drum brakes) will fit. with salisbury you have to shorten propshaft, with rover axle( from 110) you need little longer propshaft because diff nose is shorter.

vougese39 Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 td5 diff is a of a lesser quality to the rrc diff and is a different axle which will need quite a bit of modding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
