Thread: Austin champ

OK... so not am I crazy enough to own a land rover lightweight and a disco two, but when the disco two is not broken, I am v slowly doing up an austin champ.
But...
I need a NOS/mint rear crown wheel and pinion! Or a diff in south west WA from a rolled/wreck vehicle - most are stuffed because the diff is busted.

I've done all the usual scouting around but UK is too expensive and any parts suppliers only have front C wheel and pinion that needs machining to convert to rear. (for those who don't know, the champ has reverse in the rear diff so the pinion has a "mainshaft" attached too it. Also the rear diff has an output shaft too, that drives the front diff when needed.Hmmm. Very British. And you thought landrovers were different!!)

Good on you
there used to be a lot of them around years ago, my dad reckoned they were better off the road than the willys jeep, especially when someone was shooting at you.
