diff swap 85 county

[RGD129]

hi everyone

im planning to remove my rear sals and install a maxi drive rear diff out of a 90 range rover.the rover diff has 4.11 centers, maxi locker, maxi axels, maxi drive flanges and diff housing has been braced.i know i need to fit a longer rear drive shaft because the rover diff is shorter.so im trying to find out how long to make the spacer for the rear drive shaft or if a later model defender (with out sals) drive shaft will fix my problem.

any info would be good

regards brett

Crazy man. :o Keep the salisbury & fit a locker in it.

I hope your going to change the front diff too.

With a 4.1 in the back and a 3.54 in the front you will blow the center diff up in approximately 20 klm or 15 minutes, whichever comes first.

hi going bush

Im pretty sure Bill at Great Basin Rovers will do Sals R&P. You could also see the range of Dana 60 R&B, as I belive these will fit with a little help...

contact Ashcroft and ask them to make a Sals/D60 locker....the more that ask the better chance there is of it happening.

M R Automotive may be able to supply a MD locker for your sals.

just curious where did you originally get the 4.1 maxi front & rears.

sounds just like the RR front & back ends I put together for my old 90 hybrid

wonder where the rest of the car is, it had a 302W , C10 auto w lowstall & Nissan G60 xfer case held together with a Marks adaptor
