Hi all!
I'm doing a chassis swap on my 1986 90 and since the rear axle was rotten as a peach swapping that as well. A previous owner had fitted a 300tdi so I assume the axle thats in it now came from the same disco donor as its disc not original drum. I acquired a good solid replacement axle from a later defender missing the internals. My question is what if anything do I need to swap?
THe axle housing itself looks the same but the outer ends are slightly different - stub axles & discs slightly different? The shafts feel as if they are located happily (flange bolts are a different pitch though) so can I just bolt them in?
