Thread: County listed on eBay 'Maxi-Drive'

I am wondering where the discs were originally sourced, as replacement would definitely be on the cards....

one of the pictures it's sitting with the sals in the dirt, it's a rolling shell, possibly, and most likely rooted by rust. It has no dashboard, engine, gearboxes should not rust

IMHO It's worth scrap value

If you buy a Maxi-Drive for a county or series, then the drive flanges are optional extras, as the flanges on series and countys don't have the issues that defender flanges do.

It clearly has a MD actuator on the housing. You cannot install an MD locker without changing to MD axles. So the only thing it doesn't have are MD drive flanges (about $250 new).

I am not sure exactly how MD did their disc conversion - though Red_October on here has one on his 110. Note that defender rear discs ARE LARGER than others - they are the same diameter as front discs - and identical to non-ventilated 110 fronts.

None of that means it is worth the $$$ he thinks though.
