No I have had no problems, when I went from drum to disc brakes I had to drill & tape some new holes.
In the disc hubs, they go straight on.
Mine are S/3 so if you get the Defender it should be bolt up.

Brian, if you are still interested, they are available.
Products AVM
AVM p# for thick flanged vehicles is AVM446**
AVM p# for thin flanged vehicles is AVM451**
Both are 24 spline, only series FWH's are available in 10 spline.
All of them come with the parts for an LT230 to convert it to part time 4WD, this is denoted by the ** in the part number. (these parts will be useless to you, as they are me)
The best price I found for AVM446** is $435 from Terrain Tamer (believe it or not!), and I have just bought some, in order to give me selectable RWD/AWD/4WD, but primarily because nothing entertains me more than watching purists heads implode :p :wasntme:
The transfer case bits have gone to another guy with a Defender who wants part time 4WD, as I have an LT95.
Thanks Will, I fitted them a couple of months ago, ended up getting them from Ashcrofts in UK for about that money. Mobs like ARB and TJM wanted about $700 for them here!!
Yep, I get trade at ARB and they still wanted $660!Quote:

Anyone have a permanent cure for oil leaks on these AVM hubs. They leak where the centre plastic bit that you turn contacts the outer shell. When they were new that had a flimsy looking double flanged ring in there that leaked almost straight away. I replaced them with slightly larger proper O rings and have also replaced them a couple of times. The O rings usually don't leak until you turn the centre bit and engage the hubs then you can just about guarantee they will leak. Not a very good design. :(
Someone made this comment on the facebook page.
Although I couldn't see a Rover listing on the Aisin page...Quote:
AVM are the biggest buckets of snot around, I've pulled so many off and thrown AISIN on as a replacement on so many cars, I don't know why people keep blowing money on the bloody things.
I will be interested to see how they last.
If needed you can redrill 4 holes in 24 spline S3 hubs and use them instead.
PCD is the same between series and coilers.
I have never found FWH that were up to the job long term though...
They are mainly just to stop the rear diff and driveshaft from windmilling when not needed Ben. They are most likely not going to get much use. However the way they are shaping up I might be putting the standard drive flanges back on before long.Quote:

We do mostly road work now and have never needed to put the FWH,s in.
The factory diff locks are all we need so far.

Do you know if they still make them Keith. Any chance of a photo?Quote:
