mel Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Hi, I'm in need of some advice as i've just got a disc'd rear salisbury axle to go on my 90 and want to know what prop to use. The 90 will pretty much only be used off road and i'll prob end up getting a wide yoke / dbl cardon prop at some stage but want to know if theres a std prop that'll fit for now. I've got 90 and Disco props about altho i've not looked at it properly yet and if i need to shorten one thats ok but i was hoping a D2 dble cardon might fit and if anyone knew ? Thank's, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest noggy Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Im not highly doubt a standard item will fit, as the Salisbury diff nose is longer You can quite easily cut 'n' shut a propshaft but it will send it well out of balance and cause vibrations, but if its offroad mainly it doesnt really matter!

Aragorn Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 it will depend what drivetrain you currently have... ie pre 300tdi, or 300tdi and later. The salisbury is apparently an inch longer, so: for 300tdi> it looks like a PRE 300 front prop, should fit the bill. The 300tdi rear prop is 683mm long, pre300 front is 654mm, ie 29mm shorter. If your pre-300 then a 300tdi> front will work instead (635 vs 610) You will need to realign the yokes though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Aragorn, Its a 200tdi thru an LT77 and i assume you're talking 90 props as i have TD and 2.5 petrol props from 90's and a couple of prs of disco props, 2x300's and also a pr from a 200 ? Seems like i collect props ! If it comes to it i can shorten one i have but it will work out (unusually) well if one i have will fit. I wasn't sure if they fitted salisbury's on any 90's, possibly military ones, anyone ? Thank's, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I wasn't sure if they fitted salisbury's on any 90's, possibly military ones, anyone ? Miltary 90's got a beefed up Rover diff most likely a 4 pin unit, never seen a Salisbury diff on a military 90 other than a 109/110/127/130 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you use the front prop from a 300TDI (610mm, disco or defender should be fine) it should work, you'll just have to re align the yokes so they're inline.

Maverik Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I've got a salisbury on my 90 200tdi with LT77 and struggling with prop lengths too, presently I have a FRC7738 4 cylinder petrol/diesel shaft, its 640 commpressed and 690 extended, the gap between rear dif and transfer box is averge of 640mm. I was looking at getting one made up, with operating range from Min 610mm to 670mm, the old propshaft clinic (now changed hands) quoted me 125 squid using hardy spicer HD greesable UJ's and wide angle yokes. Still looking for a production prop though. Aragon is 610mm that you stated the min length? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aragorn Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I've no idea, i just used the numbers that devon 4x4 were quoting for new props, but i have a Def 300tdi front prop in the garage so i'll go measure it for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aragorn Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 ok, just measured my prop, Defender 300tdi (which is the same as all D1 front props), 610mm closed. Which fits with what i suspected, and your measurements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aragorn Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Theres a thread in the technical archive with lots of lengths in, and devon 4x4's website has the lengths of the common props. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnely enough I've found ebay the best place for getting prop lengths, most sellers are willing to go measure them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
