Is a Salisbury a Salisbury

if anyone is looking for a maxi drive salisbury hemisphere Crown wheel carrier (from a series 3) that has a 3.54 ratio crown wheel and pinion please give me a call as i have one here.It fits straight into the Defender salisbury axle.I had it in a series 3 that I converted to 3.54 ratio a few years ago.The centre was modified by Mal Storey at Maxi Drive and the crown wheel was machined to fit into the housing with the larger 3.54 pinion. I have used the vacuum cylinder in my 110 but i still have the diff centre with the maxi drive splines and the locking dog here if anyone is interested in it.

Am I to understand that in the County models the Salisbury is more offset to the RHS (i.e. Not in line with the output on the transfercase) and that the prop shaft runs at an angle to the RHS?

Pretty much, but the same does for all 110 models, not just the county.

When Land rover built the 110, I think they took the easiest path and moved the whole axle 3" to the drivers side, and extended the long axle tube/axle by 6". (values are approximate).

When the Defender changed from drums to discs, narrower bearing spacing hubs were also fitted, which meant that both axles were shortened by 10-15 mm.
