35 spline Dana 60 conversion

[klappers]

Just started doing a little bit of research into doing this and I think that I have cracked it...

Well I hope so.

Would it be as simple as assembling these parts and then chucking it in the diff?

Obviously the first part to start is here

Then some of this

Would it be this simple???

Its pretty straight forward, Get the axles and stub axles from rovertracks, about 1200 including shipping when i last heard, get a local machine shop to modify your hubs to suit snf get a d60 locker of your choice, i went with a ARB(RD36 i think it was) and assemble it. you can keep the original CWP unless your looking at changing ratios?

Yep, looking at changing ratios which is why there is a link in there to KAMS... 4.1 :)

do you need the stubs?? I was under the impression that due to the high level of Land Rover quality control that in some instances you wont need to change them

[klappers]

Well good old ebay has certrainly turned up some bargains as far as lockers and R&P goes

Rover Tracks - Land Rover Extreme Driveline Specialists (http://www.rovertracks.com/tech/salisbury.html)


some very nice light reading here

and this got me thinking....


what about this that I saw on ebay before... I wonder if the spacing is right. If it is, then there would be no need to spend $800 on spindles from rovertracks... just bore out your hub to accept the bigger wheel bearings

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SPINDLE-DANA-60-DODGE-1-TON-77-87-700013X-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem3a64e51cd2QQitemZ25080 0839890QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccesso ries


These are the measurements for the spindles

Total length -- 7.48"

Flang Dia -- 6.75"

Wonder how close this is to the rover stuff???

Anyone got one to handy to measure?

[Tusker]

Yep, looking at changing ratios which is why there is a link in there to KAMS... 4.1 :)

The page you linked to is for LandRover centres. You'll find there aren't many ratios for Salisbury/D60 that match LandRover diffs.

Fortunately, 4.11 is available with both diffs. Have a look at the D60 stuff on the Yukon site - that's what I've got. You need to play around with the tailshaft though - the pinion ends with a yoke, not a flange. Not hard.

And, re LandRover diffs in the front, check that the 4.11 you paid for isn't 4.10. 4.11 is stronger. That's happened to me in the past.

KAM link is the third one down..

1st link is for a D60 detroit

2nd for a D60 4.1 Ratio

3rd for a 4.1 KAM ratio swap

4th for Rover tracks

I didnt really want 4.11

4.1 is 25% stronger then standard anyway (KAM)...

and 4.1 is a standard D60 ratio.. which is 120 bucks from the states

[klappers]

what about those D60 spindles?? Anyone got a spare LR one to measure

[clive22]

I' ve converted my Salisbury to 35 Spline 1.5" Dana 60 using Rovertrack's axles & stubs.

I think you'll find that the 1.5" axles are too large to fit through the internal axle hole, and you'll need the new stubs - or at a minimum unacceptably weaken the old. Check with Keith from Rover tracks he knows inside out. You do end up with larger wheel bearings and stronger stubs so there is a benefit, especially with larger offset wheels.

The Dana 60 is very similar to the Salisbury except that the Sals was converted to metric e.g. 12mm vs 1/2" for the CW bolts. You'll need one of these to fit the larger axles in - I went ARB Dana 60 which in this case is a stronger centre then the Sals


I would also check with Keith whether your hubs are OK, I bought Disco 1 hubs as my County hubs were unsuitable and had machined for new wheel bearing caps. Side benefit is the wheel studs were longer, so my wheels nuts are fully engaged now.



Clive

[isuzurover]

do you need the stubs?? I was under the impression that due to the high level of Land Rover quality control that in some instances you wont need to change them

Yes you definitely need stubs for 35 spline (1.5"). Some OEM stubs were IME machined just large enough to fit 1.3" 30 spline though.

[cal415]

The 35 spline axles are way to big to fit through the standard stub axles.
Some pics that will put it in perspective.

I highly doubt you could use the stubs from ebay, you need correct diameter for both bearings, correct bearing spacing, it needs same bolt pattern, same length, and it has a lip that tightly fits over the end of the sals housing...

[cal415]

Another pic, shows a d60 v sal ARB locker, the d60 looks way stronger, the cross shafts are alot larger.

Well the stub off ebay is for a 35spline Dana 60. So internals should be the same. Was more worried about length, the pcd and the width. Of course this will also mean bigger bearings etc. And machining of my d1 hubs, and that is fine. Do you have any measurements of you rovertracks stubs?

Unless you are a fitter and turner or have a best mate who is, then trying to use Dana stub axles and rover hubs will be a world of pain and/or $$$$$.

I do... I have access to a man with a wealth of knowledge with regards to machining and he does have a lathe....


You still need a bigger hub for the 35splines anyway ie. machine the guts out. I was just thinking in terms of ease of use and parts...

[klappers]

Hmm after more reading and searching, 30 spline may well be the go for me... After Cal posting up those pics of the 35spline axles.. I really dont think that I need something that HUGE!!!! How much easier is a 30 spline coversion... If I can still use my original stubs... does this make it a much easier swap? 30spline axles and then 30 spline locker??

[klappers]

Canned the idea of those dana 60 hubs!!! Silly me. Sorry people ;). I didnt look at the spindle close enough. It would appear that there is a step on the spindle!! Lol

[cal415]

IIRC 30 spline can use the original stubs slightly bored out? its been a while since i was looking at options,, best bet is to email Keith from rover tracks, hey can sort you out no mater which way you go, he can also sort you out with d60 gear sets if you decide to go that way, cheaper then the KAM option.

By a mile!!!

I was only going to go KAM gears on the front and then run a stock 4.1 D60 ratio for the Salisbury.. :)

What I was thinking of to start with was to do a ratio change on the salisbury while it is out of the car. Then source some 4.1 KAM front gears and put both in at the same time.

Then run this set up for a while and then drop in a 30spline lockright in the salisbury and 30spline to diff and convert to discs at the same time :)

[klappers]

Well just got an email back from Keith at Rovertracks!! Awesome response! Only emailed him a couple of hours ago. Seems that after all of that, that the 35spline is still the way to go.. So, 35 spline we go :)

[LowRanger]

You haven't mentioned what you are going to run it with ?Unless you were going to run an LS1 or LS3 and tyres larger than 35's,35 spline chromo axles will be way over the top for normal use.
The best way I found to go with the ratio change has been to go with a Dana 60 4.1 gear set,which will require a custom pinion flange in the rear Salisbury.And in the front,an Ashcroft reverse cut 4.12 R&P.
Keith can help with the Dana gear set,complete with all bearings etc,as well as the custom made pinion flange.
I run this setup,with a Detroit in the rear and a McNamara in the front with Keiths chromo axles and CVs on 35's,and it all works a treat.

Ashcrofts new rover R&P designs should be MUCH stronger than anything KAM sells.

What size tyres do you plan on running?

Yep. True. But it is the RATIO that I am after. If I can run same same front and back I see this as a good thing. There is not much price difference between HD 24 spline rover gear and the "whole hog" set up of 35spline set up. Seems to me that you might as well!

As far as Ashcroft v Kam, I would say that the KAM 4.7 is just about the toughest gear set for a rover

Ashcroft 4.12 will work fine with a dana 60 4.1 or 4.11.

That is exactly what I have been trying to explain,and is the setup that I run:confused:
But there is a distributor in Vic. that will tell anyone that will listen just how great the KAM stuff is.And I am sure it has nothing to do with the fact that he sells it.:angel:

And because of the tooth count 4.7:1 will be one of the weaker gear sets for a Rover.

LOL!!! I thought that that would create a bit of a stir!! :wasntme:

Anyways, I was only messing about with the Kam stuff(re the 4.7, I was only looking at the 4.1 Kam gear because it was an exact match for the 4.1 rear that I had found) if the 4.11 and 4.12 are a good match then I shall go down this route. Sounds good to me :)

[klappers]

Got some prices off the guys at rovertracks.. GREAT bunch of people to deal with. Will go their front axles as well :) Cal415 was just about on the money for the 35spline conversion.. Which seems to me like great value for money... considering how much 24spline HD salisbury axles are anyway :( and the ring and pinion !!! Jeezzzz, they sure do charge a premium for the salisbury ratios hey!!

Now you know why I use Keiths CV's and front axles.And why I used a Dana conversion for the rear Salisbury ring and pinion,including a custom made flange and all the bearings etc it still worked out less than half the price of a Genuine Salisbury set.And Keith is a nice guy and will go out of his way to help:D.Oh yeah and I will be on the phone to him tonight to order new rear axles,as I just found the rear Hi Toughs are twisted :mad:

Type of material used to make quality axles

Wayne

[klappers]

Type of material used to make quality axles

Wayne

copy...


300M is a low alloy, vacuum melted, steel of very high strength. Essentially it is a modified AISI 4340 steel with silicon, vanadium and slightly greater carbon and molybdenum content than 4340. 300M has a very good combination of strength (280 to 305 ksi), toughness, fatigue strength and good ductility. It is a through hardening alloy.

[klappers]

Machining is best accomplished with the alloy in the normalized or normalized and tempered condition. Final machining to finish tolerances is done by grinding with care due the hardness of the heat treated alloy (Rockwell C 55). It is important to do a stress relief anneal at 550 F after finish grinding.

[klappers]

So just to mix this up a little bit, this rear conversion would obviously be best suited to also doing a 3rd member swap in the front... high pinion 80 series front 3rd member??

[LowRanger]

It depends on what you want to do with the vehicle?
I often wonder why people think that it is ok to put this in a landrover,when people that use their 80 series hard,tend to break them and replace them:wasntme:Do they think that Land Rovers won't be as hard on them?

Well, it is in a Disco, so I would like to think that I am at least a little bit lighter then a 80. the G series diff should be more then enough to handle the massive output of the 300Tdi

did you know that the material that was used by Maxidrive and is still used by Hi Tough Eng. Is equal to 4340 300m and some feel it has some slightly better charcateristics than 4340 300m for alxe shafts....

in this case size does matter..... going to 35 spline will definitly help. What material are the new stub shafts/spindles made from?

[wagoo]

I know that the mere mention of the name leaves a sour taste in some peoples mouths, as it does mine, but in theory, McNamara Differentials in Melbourne, who originally developed the 35 spline kit, still make and sell them.
In theory they still make and sell LandRover difflocks too, but lately I've met a few people that are so tired of waiting for Jeff to get cracking and start making stuff again that following my advice they are looking to Ashcrofts to supply their needs.
Anyway the Aussie dollar is very strong at this time, and Rovertracks and Ashcrofts are operated by enthusiasts so it makes sense to do business with them, as there is a fair chance their businesses will weather the GFC and they'll still be around in years to come to keep LandRover enthusiasts supplied with the good stuff.

Yes I am aware of the different materials used by different manufacturers,as I did a lot of research before making decisions.I also took into consideration a lot of different feedback regarding how different components have lasted and also how or why they failed.
Unfortunately there is sometimes a difference between being very similar according to specifications,and being similar when put into real world use !

But being fair,upon further inspection,I found that the axles weren't the X axles.A few phone calls later(and a couple of days) I have a new set of Hi Tough axles sitting here.

Unfortunately the cost factor to now convert everything to 35 spline is prohibitive considering what has already been spent.But if anything happens to detonate:eek: then I will go down that path.

I run a McNamara locker in the front of my Defender.I wanted something that was stronger and in my opinion,better engineered than the #&* locker that proliferates amongst the masses.And yes I did have to deal with Jeff and the delays,but for what I wanted,I was prepared to put up with the wait,which was a couple of months.But I am completely happy with the product,and I don't need to worry about seals failing and oil blowing back to the compressor etc.
I happily recommend the product,but like you always warn people about possible delays.

I am on the lookout for another vehicle now,to use as my touring vehicle,and if Jeff doesn't have anything ready to go when I need them,I will probably go down the Ashcroft road,even though there is only short term feedback on Daves lockers,and I would really like to hear some feedback regarding longevity.But I will have no problem using the Ashcroft driveshafts and CVs

so who is actually making 24 spline rover axles in 4340 300m, not just 4340???

I have also heard alot of feedback in favour of Hytuf (the material AMS 6418) by those using it in the real world.....300m became very popular in the USA. MD was making their axles from Hytuf in the 80's when there were ZERO companies in the USA making rover axles and alot of the axle makers in the 4x4 scene were using far inferrior materials. One thing to consider is that in the USA they have some pretty funny laws about what they can buy material wise and the such...... Im not knocking 300m But to come out and say you need to upgrade to 300m over hytuf is not really any real world fact. Going to 30 spline or 35 spline diamater with all the appropriate mods is however going to give you definite benefit, as long as once againg the material is of good quality.

Is keith doing 300m? AFAIK he and Ashcroft were only doing 4340 material axles?

or just get a small home loan and get Lara to make you some 300 Marging axles in 24 spline ;)

[LowRanger]

Keith can get 300m axles made,but you have to ask.Not his stock line which is 4340.

By the sound of things Wayne, I don't think Jeff wants to do business anymore. One bloke I spoke to who rings him every fortnight to check on the progress of the difflock he ordered about 4 months prior, was told by Jeff to buy an ARB locker instead,with the added comment "they're good now'' It's a shame, I got Jeff started on 4wd difflocks, and now he's giving
business away to the competition.

That is a real shame,but looking at the Ashcroft locker,it is very similar,and knowing Daves quality,I think they will be the go,only thing that kills the Ashcroft is the cost of transport to Australia.
I wonder if the sale of the design to TJM for the pro locker,and the fact that they now make a Rover version as well as a Salisbury version has and bearing on Jeffs decision.Maybe locked up(no pun intended) in legal red tape.

Axles from Roving tracks were made by moser engineering, if they will do the axles directly for you then all you need is stub axles and the bearings to suit, i have a spare stub axle which could be copied easy enough and all the part no for bearings.

This is just brilliant! :D:D exactly how it is!

Jac Mac or his mate arnold (pm me for details) for the spindles,hubs and flange broaching, Hi tough for the axles and 10 bolt drive flanges.

Via LRA(Les Richmond Auto) I have done this with a Rover axle, TruHi9 centre and ARB competition 9 locker,hi tough 35spline axles, 10 bolt drive flange, its tuff! Basically a high pinion ashcroft force9.

You can also broach lockers to match your spline size, so if the locker and CW are strong enough you may be able to keep it and then its just the wheel end of the axle you need to sort.
