Bushpig110 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Can anyone answer a question because its to late in the day for me to phone Ashcrofts up They do a conversion that lets a discovery R380 moref into a defender box without having to strip the box and change shafts. Question is does anyone know if this kit fits a Discovery LT77 so you end up with a defender gear stick sat on top and working Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miketomcat Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I believe you need part of the defender stick housing to go with it though. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Yes, you need a defender (long stick) top housing and stick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneandtwo Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 But it doesn't solve the problem of the disco lt77 being 9" longer than the defender one. Unless you want to put the disco lt77 in place of a R380.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushpig110 Posted March 8, 2016 Author Share Posted March 8, 2016 Thanks for the answer, I'm using up parts kicking around, I have fitted a 200tdi disco engine and box into a 90 but used the disco gearbox crossmember and welded in the engine mounts so the whole lot sits in the chassis forward of a defender set up, it means pas pipes, coolant and intercooler pipes exhaust down pipe all fit without mods It's just the gearstick in the middle of the seatbox, I was going to fabricate a tunnel and then mod a disco centre console to fit but I will try ashcrofts kit that should put the gearstick back I the right place, Then if that all works I have used a shed load of parts that would normally be chucked and spend a lot less money than usual putting a 200 In a 90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
