    They are not $24000 I had a quote last October of $15000 I said go ahead but I have to wait inline as there is a large demand for a small manufacture amount apparently they are made overseas and are ordered by maxidrive and that is what was told to me byt the lady on the Maxidrive desk


    As I want them and gonna get them I NEED them..so when the time comes I will be selling 2x complete diffs disc to disc with Maxi drive axles and flanges and airlockers all newly rebuilt..So start saving lads as they will be up for auction

    If I ever go past talking about turning my disco into a hybrid I might do it but even 15k is a hell of a lot of money - I could buy at least two 93/4 registered discos as spares for mine for that price

    would love to have em but, up here in the north with the amount of water we have during the wet they would be perfect

    cheers Blythe

    P.S. SWMBO would go spare if I even dreamed out loud about it at the moment

    Fair enough, but as I understand it - mal built the system to be as easy to bolt on to existinghousings/lockers as possible... You would need new rear halfshafts and a couple of minor housing mods (mal added some extra bracing to the later design) - but AIAIK you could keep everything else as-is.

    Sals would be a bit of overkill with portals.

    The crownwheel and pinion in volvo portals are very similar size to rover, and spiral bevel (not hypoid) as well. The 4x4 diff centres are 2 pinion as well (6x6 are 4 pinion, but ~7:1 ratio).
