The ENV has the inner pinion bearing in a tiny housing outboard of the pinion. This is the weak point. The housing casting breaks. The Salisbury like the rover diff has both bearings inboard and they are bigger and stronger.
My Salisburys are offset back and front.

I cant remember what I did with the Perkins. I have a couple of 4-182 Perkins here. Years ago I put one in a Rangie 2 door. My wife sold it for a 4 door.
One here still has a series 3 box bolted to it.
I wouldnt reccomend the 6-247 now, the Isuzu 4BD1 is a better choice.
When I put the Salisburys in I widened the track 4 inches so its not your standard width any more.

All our S3's were 1 ton.
Wish I had one of them now.

I would add to the caution in that article - many of the chassis features pictured are on Australian military Series 2a Landrovers, and were, in fact copied from there by Solihull when designing the One Ton. So just because you see the extended hangers, shackles, spring stops etc, does not mean you have found a One Ton!
