Thread: Help with a bolt locker diff

OK
Modded from a LWB to SWB.
Do you know if its a Sailsbury or Rover diff???
No SWBs had the Sailsbury diff,all series3 109" did.Compare rear diff "pumpkin" to the front,a standard 88" should have very similar looking diff centres,if the rear is MUCH larger and has a removable rear cover its a Sailsbury thats been converted to suit.
In this case,the diff locker internals wont exchange with a normal housing.
If the shock mounts look ordinary you will need to look into the rest of their conversion work if it is a sailsbury.The diff has a longer "snout" so a shorter tailshaft is required,wedges may be required between the housing and springs to improve the angle of the tailshaft as it meets the diff.

Andy - I am pretty sure it is a rover diff. This is a bit of a giveaway...

And I think it was the one that TimD (Eric /THE109's Brother???) was selling on OL recently (pics in the rover section there).

Yeah Andrew the difff i got is exactly the same as the one in the car, measured up the same. No they both do not have removable covers on the back, as you put it the snout unbolts. Is there parts in the diff center that have to be changed over or is it just axles and hub ends.

You need to use the complete diff centre as well as the axles and hubs.
