Does anyone have a Defender drop arm kicking around?

thetim · Oct 30, 2015

Hi,
I know most people swap their Defender drop arms for Discovery ones... but I'd like to do the opposite! I don't suppose anyone has an old Defender drop arm around the place that they no longer need? I don't mind what condition the ball joint is in as I'd be modifying it and fitting a new ball joint anyway.

Obviously happy to buy rather than scrounge... and I'd put this in the sale / wanted section, but I don't have enough posts to start a thread there - apologies in advance to the moderators

I do indeed but there are a few types so which kind do you need. I did my drop arm a while back and whilst many will sell/fit the same arm on all boxes the taper is quite different. I think I was working away at the time and I ended up buying a few to cover all eventualities. It would be a new one unfitted.

Let me know the part number and I will check.

Pants, I did look for the "anything goes" section but thought that needed fifty posts too - not sure how I managed that

I'd be looking to fit it to a 4-bolt Discovery 300tdi steering box; the top is marked BD2642100. The number on the existing drop arm is incomplete but starts with BD4825 (might end 702 but Google doesn't find anything for this p/n).
