Bluemoon Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Just wondering if it was feasible or if anyone had already done it. Using Discovery 2 axles on a Defender 300tdi, but changing the hubs for the existing 300 series. I have been told you cant just swap the hubs for 300series hubs so I was thinking changing the stub axles as well, welding up any bolt holes as required and redrilling new , but don't know about the drive shafts and whether the brake calipers would be reused, and the finer details , anybody with some firm information would be gratefully appreciated . cheers Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishbosh Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Sorry, can't help with your query, but I would ask why? Surely it is cheaper and easier to buy a set of disco 2 steel rims to fit your tires on? Then you can use the entire D2 axle? Or do you haver a cunning plan that you're not telling us about...?

Bluemoon Posted January 2, 2011 Author Share Posted January 2, 2011 just so I don't have carry two lots of spares, I want to keep all the wheels the same , to match the trailers and other motors . Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M&S Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Sounds like a lot of work. Why not stick with 300tdi axles?<br> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonr Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Although I've not seen them recently, I've seen adaptor / spacer rings to put D1 wheels on D2's as well as D2 wheels on D1's. These would work equally well for a Defender. Rakeway might be a good company to ask? Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
