OK... so not am I crazy enough to own a land rover lightweight and a disco two, but when the disco two is not broken, I am v slowly doing up an austin champ.
But...
I need a NOS/mint rear crown wheel and pinion! Or a diff in south west WA from a rolled/wreck vehicle - most are stuffed because the diff is busted.
I've done all the usual scouting around but UK is too expensive and any parts suppliers only have front C wheel and pinion that needs machining to convert to rear. (for those who don't know, the champ has reverse in the rear diff so the pinion has a "mainshaft" attached too it. Also the rear diff has an output shaft too, that drives the front diff when needed.Hmmm. Very British. And you thought landrovers were different!!)
