axlechorus Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Quick question asked by a friend who is interested potentially in my rear discovery axles from a 1993 200tdi when I come to break it in replacement of his 1993 200tdi 110 rear axle which has drum brakes Alas though the casing on my rear axle is rather shot but the hubs are in very good order. So the question is will my hubs from the stub axle be able to swap straight over or does it require a change of the whole casing to facilitate this update from Drum to Disk brakes? Many thanks in advance. Ryck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejparrott Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 His 110 axle will be a Salisbury, so he'll need the two cast brackets for the Callipers. On my disco axle, the bracket was welded to the axle tube, so couldn't be transfered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gremlin Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Not even the stub axles will match, not worth the hassle. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snagger Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Grem and I have both modified Salisbury axles to discs, and both used a similar method. I used Discovery rear callipers, but that was the only transferable part and is less than ideal for his braking balance. Sorry, but there are no parts that will be of use.

axlechorus Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 Many thanks for your replies guys, That's good to bottom that out as a non starter now than when things are all in bits. Can I ask, how did you upgrade to Discs on your Salisbury rear axle, what parts are needed/is it a cost effective upgrade?
