agree'd get something like this:

LINKY - 4 BOLT FLANGE KIT

and get a 200 tdi rear prop - or if your gonna be off roading regularly n want to start playing with suspension look at gettin wide angled props

Is it a simple nuts and bolts job then? One flange off and new one on and fit 200 prop.

Might do this cause I got a Disco prop and my doughnut wants renewing.

That one diff flange is a complete and utter nightmare to get off and don't let any other fooker tell you different.
I resorted to an angle grinder in the end. I believe Funky Kipper also used the grinder method.

Fooking vile job.

To be honest, if you've got a spare front diff knocking around, just swap it with that as that uses a 4 bolt flange as standard. Job done.

Think I'll wait till the warmer weather then, got a spare axle which would be easier to fit, trouble is its a 110 on drums an the diff nose will be different and why am I even bothering to think about it

Got two spare diffs one brand new (well nearly) trouble is they are 10 spline

typical ey! I've just had an absolute mare sourcing a low milage front axle that'll bolt straight on without having to dick about with things to try n make it fit...

your Q about difficulty on fitting I cannot answer as my kit is currently on top of me drawers in the bedroom :lol: but i did find this:

Diff Flange Conversion Clicky!
