Thread: Sailsbury or dana 60?

Only differences in centres is that sals is 12mm ring gear bolts and D60 1/2" I mentioned before. There are 2 different centres for both 4.56:1 and lower ratios and 4.10:1 and higher. CARRIERS are otherwise identical where it counts and run the same bearings.

Crownwheel-side pinion bearings are the same - yoke/flange side are different. To put a D60 pinion in a sals you need to use an HM88644 and HM88610 cone and cup.

Again just for interests sake as ive had the landy for years but only just started doing major mods.

What other stuff crosses over from one brand to L/R that we all should know about?

AFAIK - What we call the Salisbury is more correctly called the Salisbury 8HA. And it was built by GKN in the UK UNDER LICENCE from Dana in the US - So basically it was a LICENCED COPY of the low-pinion Dana 60.
