Locking hubs

G'day. Just wondering what sort of front diff a Landie has as I've got the same Shute Upton Locking hubs on my '64 Scout. Just stumbled on here as it was in the search list. I have exactly the same hub but only one and if a Land Rover runs the same DANA 27 Diff then I may have just found my applicable donor to fit one to the drivers side, maybe they had a blow out before I bought it:wasntme:

A series 2a Landy has a Rover diff at the front end.

Freewheeling hubs are not popular with many members here and the SUE brand are considered the least popular of all, mainly for the problems you describe, personally I'd recommend you send the SUE hubs to the recyclers and fit plain flanges.

As for whether they would fit, the Land Rover halfshaft has 10 spline halfshaft and 6 retaining bolts. However if the PCD of the retaining bolts are the same you may be able to use the Land Rover housing and your own internals. Throw up a wanted ad in the markets section and see if you have any luck.

Afraid the PCD of the landRover hub is larger than the Scouts.Try Willys Jeep spares, as some models ran 10 spline Dana 27 front ends.

So how good/bad are the free wheeling hubs on my 2A? It seems nobody has mentioned them so far

They look the same as the AVM,s

On very early AVMs the inner splined member rode in a bronze bush fitted to the housing. These lasted quite well unless the outer stub shaft snapped, in which case the guts of the free wheel hub would get pushed out through the dial.Later AVM s were rubbish and wore out quickly as they deleted the bush so that the splined member rode directly in the hubs cast iron housing. If your Dualmatics have a bushing they may be good quality providing the housing was cast either from steel or good quality nodular iron.
