Thanks do......I have a spare D1 but nothing to pop it onto

It might be worth mentioning that the HTE axles that replace these ones are longer with matching flanges for more spline engagement.
I don't have the other measurements.
I hope this helps.
I have a 85 Drum Salisbury that I can get some measurements off, if that is of any use, but I will be at lest a few weeks till I can get at it.

You are correct about HTE axles for the late disk brake Defenders (post LA). HTE make them longer with more spline because of the increased wear in the original short splines. They also have matching flanges for these "X" suffix axle halfshafts.
Talking to Barry at Hi-Tough this morning we may be able to use the special flanges from the X halfshafts to match the 110/early Defender halfshafts when using the post LA Defender stubs (FTC 1740) and Disco hubs.
Onto the FTC 1740 stub axles. Rovacraft, Graeme Cooper's and LVS have nil stock.
- Genuine LR are about $190
- OEM are about $150
- Britpart ex-UK are about £15 + shipping ($25+)
Given that OEM are about 6 times more expensive, would people risk using Britpart stub axles?? :confused:
Must be hub n stub month hay I have been playing with some and my findings are this
Stubs with a key way type of slot to take the locator tag on the bearing washer are the early type wide space hub found on all RRC with 10 spline axles and early D1 with 10 spliners
Countys seem to be hit and miss tho most early countys the better ones have the wide stubs tho were it gets hit n miss is were the change over took place 89 90 91 and 92 some even still have wide spaced front hubs with narrow rears D1 even did similar I have found D1's fitted from factory with a 10 spline front and 24 spline rear with wide hubs up front and narrow rears seems rover just used up all the left over rangie diffs in the D1
The best way to tell the 2 apart is the early wide spaced stub has the key type of slot and the later narrow spaced stub has a large flat section machined on the outer side of the threaded section to locate the bearing washer
As for fitting a wide hub to a narrow stub or vice versa it could happen tho you would see straight away that either the stub was too wide for the hub and the bearing wont seat or that the stub is too short for the hub and you cant get the lock nuts both on with the bearing seated
As for the wheel bearings im sure they are all the same for both wide and narrow hubs
so the FTC 1740 is the part no for the early wide space hub is it as I found these and none have that part no
