SeriousIIa Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 I've got a 110 TD5 with a Salisbury rear axle but the differential is broken. Now I've bought an other Salisbury rear axle but mistakenly not from a TD5 but from a 300TDI so it hasn't got the ABS holes in it. Is it possible to make the sensors fit? Or do I have to look out for an other axle (I hope not...). Regards Bowy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 it might be possible to swap the 'new 300Tdi' diff into your existing casing & retain the ABS as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeriousIIa Posted April 3, 2010 Author Share Posted April 3, 2010 That's a possibility, only I've never swopped a salisbury diff yet and every one tells it's difficult.....?? So I'm rather looking for a axle swap which is doable ion 2 to 3 hours..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white90 Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 The holes are in the stub axles so you need to swap these over but you need the hubs from the ABS as the exciter ring is on these simple really to swap the centre as Ralph says or just change the stubs axles onto the new axle to retain the ABS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurriaan Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Bowy, Why don't you join us to Newbury and pick up an ABS axle there? I will bring beer this time, plenty of it. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preferably in Holland......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurriaan Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 If you bring the axle home for me, then you can leave the beer Will keep an eye on it if I'll be going. Not 100% sure yet though. Will let you know if I'm going and found one. Do you now have the early type you can bolt on to a Salisbury drum axle or the later welded type? Still want to convert my drum axle to discs. From what's been told to me it should be pretty easy if you have an early disc brake axle and swap it all over to the drum axle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
