Agreed with longfields, seems like a better option..on the diff side i hav it on good authority the ashcrofts can be broached to 30spline safely.
Running Ashcroft CW&P pegged on front and tom woods driveshaft, ATB Centee, Strong Auto so no probs there holding loads..
Rear is 35spline already as disussed in another thread.
Noted re panhards and links

Cheers, it was not easy but worth it, and not possible without LRA anf some other great suppliers.
Rear is:
Truhi9 with the competition spec 35spline ARB RD99CE
LRA Rover9 housing (these are available to order)
TruHi9 Diff
ARB Competion Strength RD99CE selectable locker
Custom 35spline Hi Tough Axles
Arnolds(ex jac mac) Custom hubs and Spindles to suit 35spline
Custom 10 Bolt Hi Tough 35 spline Drive Flanges
Put together by Les Richmond Automotive, LRA
End result is a bulletproof rearend, propshaft is up out of harms way and we only loose 15mm clearance over a stock rover housing, giving maximum pumpkin clearance with 35's
Would love to get the front up to similar spec, hence wanting to run D2 Housing with biggest axles we can fit.
Ahhhh ok. Awesome setup. Whole different ball game to what I thought you were doing.
Still the same, except I think 30/30 300M axles and Long/Ashcroft CV's still the strongest axles/CV's you will get in there. I still really don't think there is an advantage to changing to a D2 housing. I'm not sure what broaching of the diff costs, but speaking to Daniel Bonegard (ARB locker/compressor engineer), you can just swap out the side gears as the update they did a few years ago now moved to common components. I would bet this will leave your CW/P by far as being the weakest link.

On the question of RRC to D2 pattern, if the vehicle is a comp vehicle you can get adaptors in the UK which change the RRC pattern to D2/d3 pattern.
I have 2 on my camper trailer.
This will also reduce the increase in track to about 20MM due to the D2 wheels having more inward offset than RRC wheels.
