Diff reference

[cartouche]

Hello everybody

My name is Alexandre, I'm belgian. I study automotive engineering in college in Belgium.

For my end work study, I am in a gear factory and I am in a diff development team.

For my job, I make a study on the compatibility of diff on lands.

If it's possible, Can I have your diff, axle casing, housing and the number of spline of yours shaft? with your brand and motors,of course oem vehicle.

Thanks a lot guys !!!

So sorry for my english.

I run 24 spline shafts from a Land Rover Discovery 1998 model year, it runs a 9" crown wheel and a 3.54 ratio and is of the 2 pin variety.

Do you actually want my running gear physically or just pictures/measurements?

There are numerous threads here on diffs, pretty sure HfH will be along shortly to help you out

Edited to add.

Your English is good, my Flemish on the other hand is shocking

Hello Nigelw !

Thanks for your answer.

This is the reference of your axle housing which interested me. Exemple: HRC 1124.

here is my start study in a excel table.

Thanks you.

Ah ha, will be routing around under there later and will try to dig out the ref No. for front and rear axles, but will point out that the rear is a later axle and not the original from 1992 and the front axle although original casing has differential and shafting from a later vehicle also now running 24 spline.

That is one of the great things with Land Rovers of the past, they all shared that common component, the axle casings, this allowed us to bring the newer and more refined 24 spline hardware into earlier casings without modification, all bar the need for 4 longer mounting studs as I found out.
