300tdi rear 4 bolt prop flange

kmg said:

has anyone done this conversion? my rubber coupling has failed twice in four weeks after a suspension lift so decided to convert to a 200tdi rear prop. got an 89 rrc rear axle in my garage so removed the flange from that and fitted it to the disco, on with the prop and all was fine until i tested it.
found out that the rrc flange is 76mm dia at its widest part which should slide into the oil seal whereas the discovery 300tdi flange is 69mm.

so anyway the question is what flange will fit into the discovery diff?

thanks

hi, i've had very little noise/vibration from the back prop but you could see the rubber coupling was distorted at all times.
the front however is causing vibration as the prop seems to be at its fully extended length, i've seen someone on ebay selling propshaft spacers to counteract this effect but haven't heard of anyone using them so don't know if it would help.
