Not sure yet... This one is an 89 model and seems to be a bitsa when it comes to parts I have a 90 Rangie here to part out so your idea may work out. I also have a 83 Rangie rear end sitting around very handy but think it may be different I'm not sure yet. Would be quicker than drilling and easy outs fore sure.

Have you seen a sals do this before? Buggered if I have. The 40 series Toyota's have done this here often though

They retained rear drums till 1992ish, so yours must be a conversion. As long as the hub hasn't been machined then either the front or rear hubs from your RRC should fit, but you may need a thin flange b etween the drive flange and the hub.

I recall the US guys (with big wheels high HP and low gearing) having similar issues. Some modified the hubs to 10-stud. But swapping over to class 12.9 socket head cap screws and doing them up FT using loctite retaining compound should do the trick.

I've about had it with the Rovers here
Why do they have to change to metric and when the and what drive menber become metric 10mm X1.5 . All my Rangie ones are imperial up to 90 model in this part.
I have tried to extract the bolts but was unsuccessful with one now has a broken drill bit in it.

I don't have time for this quirky crap any more
If a few more things startle me this week you will see a heap of rovers flood the market and I may go back to Jap crap

just give us the word - I'd like a 120 4BD1

Looks like the drive member is from a post 92 Defender so have got onto a second hand one in Newcastle... Have to wail till next week to get it
I'm going to try re taping a Rangie one to get it going.

Think I need to get some fresh air and calm down I little before I do something that I would regret latter

If you want to experience 4BD1 just get a large rattle gun and try to hold it This is what they do do the running gear after a wile

you could say that I'm fully experienced with them - I just want a 120 to complete the set ....

Well... It appears some of the flange bolts went metric in the update Disco and late RRC. I assume when they went 24 spline.

I now have an update Disco front hub. Had some drama getting new bolts for it as were 45mm long, Off the shelf bolts are 40 then 50 Amazingly super chump auto in Mudgee had the right ones So the 120 goes back together tomorrow with new bearings and seal. I'm going to run the grease again. Less chance of a leak.
