302 windsor/c4 and a minature transfer,has ASCO cast in the top and is about half the size of a series transfer...any ideas what it is?

also has diffs that look like early rover ones but a bit bigger,drums that arent landy(finned) and a huge thing coming out of the rear hubs(looks like freewheel hubs)..oh and six wheel studs...again,any ideas??

general opinion is toyota(neighbours,postman,amway man etc)

i dont break diffs usually,but i have issues with series brakes,so these diffs are appealing to me for the brakes

cheers,seriesly

Photos might help, as all Jap wheels are six stud, except for the latest Cruisers that are 5 stud.

I think, THINK, the 101 had 6 studs???????????????

look in the 101 section on this fourm?

Sounds like a Toyota transfer case and Toyota axles.

The 101 has 6 studs with a very large PCD but Land Rover looking rims, F&R Salisbury diffs, regular Land Rover 11" drums and Range Rover/Defender track width.

The give-away that it's not Land Rover 101 is the part about "huge thing coming out of the rear hubs" and Rover looking diffs, makes me go towards the Jap, probably Toyota.

Wether they have a right offset to the rear diff will also indicate most likely Toyota.

What are the rims? Split rims with a spring steel band?

hi diana,

the diff centres are on the right side for a landy

i know pics would help immensely,i will have another go at posting

definately not 101 or heavy duty landy at all

i have seen these things on the rear hub before but cant recall on what

im not sure what to do with this one as i bought it for the 302 and spares

but theres not much landy leftmechanically anyways

sounds like F100 9'' diffs?
or maybe pootroll


cheers phil

i might have a squiz at your old posts,slunnie

you were playing with toyota axles for a while iirc

No problems.

I did a google search and it seems that for a time (not sure how long) that Toyota did use an ASCO designation or named transfer case which was a part time unit.

The first Landy I did used Hilux axles which had small centers much like a Rover diff, the rear was centered and there is no hub on the rear that protrudes through the rim.



But I suspect it will be similar to these which are 60 series rims which are very very similar to 40 series rims which will allow the tyres fit under a LandRover guard. Bigger diff nuggets, offset front and rear diffs to the drivers side and the rear hub protrudes through the rim.



The freewheeling hubs on the front may vary but are all interchangable, but you can see the wheel stud pattern.
