I picked up a Series 2a 109 that while its wiring is a mess the running gear is good.
I was wanting to put a Salisbury in the back end if I can locate a Series 3 Salisbury what do I need to do the swap just Diff / Tail Shaft
What do I need to do to the brakes ??

Thanks in advance

Yes, just diff and tail shaft.

The brakes should be the same.

p.s. - I may have a sals available if you can't find one locally - need to clear some crap out of the shed...

Diff and tailshaft. Everything else will be the same or interchangeable.

One point, however, is that the Series 3 will have 16mm wheel studs, where most Series 2a have 9/16"BSF. If you want to retain the same wheel nuts front and rear, probably a good idea, you have the choice of either swapping the hubs and brake drums (stud hole size in the drums are different) off the Rover axle, or finding Series 3 hubs and drums for the front. I think I would be keeping the 9/16" studs, and swapping the back only unless you need to overhaul the front axle. Note that late S3 have different stub axles and hubs as well, so if the donor is late S3 you will need to swap stub axle, bearings and hubs as well.

Of less concern is that Landrovers with salisbury rear axles (and late S3 88s) had 24 spline instead of 10 spline drive flanges both front and rear, but the only reason for changing is for commonality of parts.
