    Simon, I have a nodular cast iron cover on the rear diff (5/16" wall) and you can get heavy (5/16" and 3/8" wall) plated steel ones too.

    They are heat retainers but protect the CWP very well and are needed for when you shave the bottom of the housing to get some clearance.
    heavier oil is a work around for the retained heat. Bit of a catch 22 as a heavier oil runs hotter anyway from the increased drag, but it helps protect a hot running Sals.

    I think if you were dead set keen on a stronger front diff a patrol conversion would be the way to go even with a ratio change in the rear to match the patrol diff I think you would still be ahead

    I'm having guilt trips in thinking of fitting a TD42 into my 130, let alone fitting Patrol axles... even though I have a pair in stock! I know where you are coming from tho! Cheers.

    I've the ARB cover on my rear Salisbury...very tough bit of kit. With this cover I was able to shave about 15mm off the bottom. There are numerous threads on here about this.

    A strengthend Rover housing filled with Rover HD (aftermarket) parts, is going to take a fair bit of abuse from any touring working LR.

    Salisbury front axle..

    I was looking on EBay UK, and came across this,

    land rover DEFENDER DISCOVERY salisbury front axle disc braked l@@k rare | eBay

    Unfortunately it is collection only, bit of a bugger to post something this size..

    Anyways, does anyone have the measurement that a landrover rear Salisbury axle is lower by, than the standard TDCI axle, I.E; how much less clearance is there on standard wheels/tyres?

    Mike.
