Thread: Maxidrive D1 -> RRC

I fitted a MaxiDrive from a D1 into my RRC.

However, I swapped the whole rear axle assembly which, as you said, required moving the shock mounts. I fitted D1 shock mounts with the nuts to replace the RRC units which used a split pin retainer.

I also had to change the propshaft as the D1 used the Rotoflex coupling.

My old RRC rear axle assembly and propshaft went into the D1.

I don't remember about the light.

D1 will fit except for shock mount and maybe brake caliper bolt diameter - from memory we could not fit disco calipers to 86 rangie axle housings so your rangie caliper bolts might not fit the disco hub

Easy fix is take the calipers with the maxi axle from the donor Disco - fit and bleed lines on RRC

Holes in chassis for shocks are easy - need to sleeve With crush tubes - make a template from other side of car to get position right - any shop can do in half and hour - much easier than cutting and welding axle housing for maxi

Forgot to mention that the housing in the car now has already been cut and welded for a maxi.

I just replaced the whole housing not long ago (read 2 weeks) and really can't be bothered getting that heavy ass thing out again. Would rather just swap bits over if possible.

Cheers
