JC, you could run RRC cv R06665 I think, and get a custom stub so its the same length as AEU2522. This is what I run, plus a 4140 pressed on antiburst ring.
Or just get am AEU2522

Bearmach CV's did really well in Ashcrofts testing against their own and other aftermarket CV's and I think the pricing is reasonable.
Hopefully their consistency is good too and it should be, IIRC they're made in Taiwan.
Serg has RRC CV's with Maxi/Hy Tough stubs and drive flanges and I reckon I'll go the same route.
Mal set it up for him, and I remember Matt/Rovercare mentioning in a thread that he'd blown a few AEU2511 CV's but only bent a few 10 spline stubs.
I also like the idea that if I carry a few spare it's a lot quicker to swap a stub axle when in the bush :D (not that I do anything extreme, the 130 is my daily work truck :angel:)
I'm more likely to pop a CV now too with the new 'too cool to be true' O offset rims.
I reckon I've shortened the turning circle by 5' at least, which was the aim.
I'm no longer trying to berth the Queen Mary, merely a Naval Destroyer ;)
Double post doh

i'm not all that worried anymore serge, my serious offroading days are pretty much over, actually:(

JC, do you know if the AEU2522 and the R06665 cvs are physically the same where they mount into the stub axle? That is, if we fit these early, longer 200tdi Stub axles, will the R06665 mount in the bronze bush and work correctly give the engagement to inner axle shaft???
2 long stubs on there way.........
can anyone tell me the physical differences between the 2 following stub axles.
FRC3132
FRC8540
from what I have found, these are both of Sals rear ends, early defender 90/110. Both appear to be long stubs (pre 300Tdi narrow bearing). I can see that the 3132 has the slot for washer tab and the 8540 has the large flat as per latter types for lock washer.....
but are they the same length etc?
Im guessing the one with large flat would be better if all else is equal..
My Bearmach catalogue only shows the FRC8540 stub axle ?

110 front hubs & stub axles can be used to convert from rear drum to rear disc brakes.
Rick, here are both:

I had a FRC3132 on my bench and it is definitely a long stub with the small keyway. It is very similar (on the bearing side) to my new early 200Tdi front stubs FRC4320, possibly exactly the same measurements (need to confirm) So I see no reason to run a front stub on the rear. If you read that thread they say the front stub wont fit the rear housing..and mention grinding....not on my watch!
That brings us to hubs, I also had some other LR/RRc/Disco hubs/stubs (not sure what model/year they are off) and noted there is a noticable difference, front to rear, of the distance from WMS to disc rotor mounting surface...fronts being less (that is closer to the WMS) so throwing this into the mix means finding a disc rotor with the correct offset, then the correct caliper etc...
and since that thread was very non-conclusive, Im not putting much stock in it :p
But this one is better:
Drum brake 110 salisbury disc brake conversion - Land Rover Technical Archive - LR4x4 - The Land Rover Forum
seems he used his original drum long stubs FRC8540 (can tell by the large flat), early 90/110 front hubs and 110 rear discs..only thing he had to custom was a spacer for the caliper bracket...the part numbers he lists for rear calipers match LR for 110 rear disc calipers...mind you this all on a drum brake housing.
When I get all my bits and bobs from the Uk AND I get around to doing my wheel bearings, I will have a little play and try and take some measurements along the way to see whats what.
but, at this stage it seems quite doable and not to much non-bolt on LR parts.
