Through the month of September we having a sale on the strongest CV/ Axle combination you can buy for a Rover..
Normally $660 Now $600 (USD)
Come with both half shafts and two CV's (longfield/rovertracks design)http://www.rovertracks.com/products/axles.html

They fit all 300tdi and later stub axle/hub combination. Easily retrofitted to an earlier truck.

They don't support ABS though... weakens the CV too much..

Thanks

HI there,
my 96 3.9 Disco has ABS, but I have it disconnected, can I fit the Above CV's etc into my housing ?

Thanks in advance.

Sounds good - how much including shipping to the major Cities in Australia?

I am interested in them and live in Sydney.

Yep they drop right in!!

As for shipping, It's normally about $130-$140 (USD) to the East coast.. If I can get enough of you guys on board (we know you're out there) we could easily cut that by 2/3 It will still be airfreight but I'd send them to one guy and he'd distibute them about... Not sure in the end it would sav ea whole lot but I'll look into it..

Cheers!!

Hey Nige!!

I saw your other post and after chasing you around a bit I did a quick "lurk" around this here forum and it seems the guys here are just my sort.. Sales or not I'll be hanging around.. We've got a plan for the whole family to come over in '09 and take about a month to have a look. You're warned!! Once you meet my kids you'll understand :)

Take about a month? Which small corner of this continent do you hope to see in that time? :D

I've just started the forward planning to do a trip around with kids - and I plan 6 months (or more).

Whoops - off topic. But then, it is your thread. :)

Your right! Just a very small corner.. That's up to a Friend who lives in Tenterfield and Overlands a lot, he figures he could show me a bit in a month.. Problem is getting enough time off of work to do it proper! It's taken me some 20 years to see most everything (well sorta) in the States and we've got a lot more pavement over here so travel between destinations (while perhaps not as pleasent at times) is quite fast..

So what's up with that we shoudl be paid to travel and bring our worldly knowledge back to the job! Makes us a better employee I think :)

The seals on my 91 disco are gone and the cv's are clicking so i believe they may be worn(oil comes out pretty quick).Will these fit in or are my axles a diff spline.

This is where I get a bit confused.. To fit these you would need to have a 24 spline diff, which is a "maybe" in a 91 Rangie so I suspect a Maybe in a '91 disco.. At the hub end of the picture it depends if you have a seperate drive flange and it is the "thin" pattern, these came on the same year ('91) Rangies "sometimes" over here.. If you had a picture of the end of the hub it would help.. Or maybe I could come up with one..

We didn't get the Disco till '94 and most RRC's and early D90's are seemingly a mix of new and old, almost like whatever was lying around went into building the cars! Of course it likely has more to do with years of repairs and lack of a good supply of proper parts.

Can you mail me at keith@rovertracks.com ?

Hi Revor,

I could well be up for a set.

How strong are they compared to Ashcrofts shafts and cvs?

Cheers

Hello Peter
We've not tested them head to head in the axle breaking machine we've got but they should be the same or a bit stronger. Both of us use similar materials and they are both made at the same manufacturer.

We used the 27 Toyota spline on the inner because we feel it's stronger than the 23 spline and it allows our star to be thicker. That said we need to supply the axles wit the CV's and we have to do it at a good price.. We're so confident that we offer a lifetime arranty against breakage. Of course nothing is unbreakable, if you're running 38's and a 500 HP chevy you ought to look at Dana 60's :)

The Pattern we sell is that of the '94ish and later trucks, so the short stub axle and hub combination. This patten is the easiest to convert older trucks to and is still used in the current defender range. To convert an older truck just put later stubs and hubs on it no other mods required, well you'll need the drive flange too..

Yep! Bolts right in! I assume you are not concerned with ABS?

Non ABS RRC! Heck if you where closer I'd give you a set of hubs and stubs..

You'll see that this product is no longer on the Longfield website mainly for this reason.

The Longs are great people (friends!!!) and have helped bring this product to market more than you can imagine, but alas they don't know much about Rovers.. They attend all our LR Rally's when they can though!!

I'm glad it's an easy thing for you!

I hope you'all understand why I developed the kit the way I did..

Grimace! How far are you from Tenterfield, I know it's a bit inland from the rather large Gold Coast but I have friend that has a farm there and when he's about you ought to go kick him in the shin for me! :) If you're close enough.. 'Sides this poor guy needs some Rover mates to take him out and abuse him!! He's got a decent enough ride!!!

After being unavailable for a while now, I have heard that Rover Tracks extreme cv kits are available again and I believe at the same price shown on their website (http://www.rovertracks.com/products/axles.html) (which hasn't been updated yet).

This is good news for those with rover 24 spline diffs - post 94 rrc, defenders, or disco I.

The rumors are true..

Parts will arrive to me tomorrow!!!
Finally!

Same price as before! Better product!

Hi Keith,
Will the parts be interchangable with the old kits if i bust an axle or CV? not sure how likely that would be though....

BTW im still away for another few days but i have been told i have some stuff waiting for me at home, hopefully my new 35 spline axles and stubs :)

Hi Keith
are you traveling around northern NSW and Queensland? Or have you been and gone already?

revor
17th November 2009, 03:35 AM
Unfortunatly I haven't been back to Australia since the '06 OBC..

Shipping for most anyplace Australia is going to be about $200.

That's the bad part about the US Dollar being down, shipping prices go up.

If we can get multiple orders shipped at the same time can we save on freight? Seems to be a few Newie/Sydney guys interested in the kit.

Not that I fit the demographic, but I'd be interested in a set if a group buy is being organised, if not, I'll crawl back into my hole.
