I have made a spacer, cut from 3mm steel sheet with a metal cutting jigsaw. It took a couple of hours to grind it evenly from 3mm up to 1mm. It should sandwich fairly flat. I think I'll seal it both sides with rtv silicone and screw the stub axle...
Possible but unlikely. I say that firstly because I stripped the disco in its entirety, and no damage (other than corrosion) was observed anywhere. Everything seemed original and unmolested.
Furthermore, there is no deformity or damage to any...
Was the disco that the axle from involved in an accident before being stripped? Might explain if there is any damage to mountings meaning it doesn’t sit quite straight, although this would probably be picked up when fitting?
Yes, I still have the early model with the drum brakes, just needs refurbishment. Also an option. Drum brakes are adequate for the size of vehicle and trailer loads I pull
I've just been looking on eBay, it seems the mounting brackets are very different on the disco 2's. The 2000's defender axles look fairly similar, are they compatible? Stiff prices on all things defender, but I'm seeing it as an option
Hi all, hope you're having a good (late) spring. Something's (one of the things) been bothering me since I rebuilt my truck using a discovery 1 axle. I was pleased at the time to be "upgrading" to rear disc brakes!
My truck wears rear tyres out...
