Is it possible to convert a 10 spline rear axle to 24 spline using stock parts?
Specifically an early D1/RRC rear axle with the integrated flanges. Although I think an early 90 axle would be the same.
The reason I ask is, Googling this has resulted in different info. But nothing concrete.
I know the shaft lengths are different between the 10 and 24 spline axles. As are the flanges on the Disco/RRC axles.
Ashcroft do 24 spline “early” and “late” shafts (they don’t do 10 spline at all). The “early” is for the 10 spline axles. But obviously with a replacement 24 spline diff centre.
Reason for asking is, I have a rear 10 spline axle in good working condition all round and good disc brakes. But I’d like to fit a 24 spline diff centre. Can this be done using OEM/pattern bits? And without spending £300 for a set of half shafts from Ashcroft.
