300tdi Disco Axle into 200tdi Defender

Hey all

I'm sure that this question has been asked before, but the question is, Is it possible to put Both 300 disco axels onto a 200 defender chassis?
My dads says he knows about the rubber coupling instead of a UJ and thats no problem, but is it possible with the spring seats and all?
I just fancy better stopping power because drums on back would be well replaced with the big discs on disco's, and also the fronts are much bigger than my defender, any help would be appreciated

Cheers Everyone

basically the same axles ,so yes ,except 300 front axle has wider radius arm mounts than defender 200 so you would need the wider radius arms as well preferably or space out with substancial washers if not possible ,rear 3 bolt flange can be swapped for 4 bolt flange and spacer also gives you more choice of wheels

the only thing to consider is the number of brake pipes going to the front callipers. some have one per side, others have two.

So would I need a new slave or master cylinder?

you can either put a t peice in pipes or fit your old front calipers
