[Mr Noisy]

Hello

My Disco needs a rear axle repair or a replacement casing.

Would rather replace with something younger than 20 years old!

I don't need anything but the case, which is the part which usually gets weighed in so I'd be happy with paying 20 quid or so for a bang tidy one with thick metal on it.

Anyway, let us know of you've got a good one available please.

Can strip it myself or will buy complete if necessary blah blah blah.

Thanks, Sam 07818044463

later one will be metric caliper bolts

 

[Mr Noisy]

I thought threads were in the caliper itself?

 

[jamesmartin]

no your perhaps thinking of mudshield bracket that bolts on with caliper

 

[Mr Noisy]

Righto, that's a ****ter then. Can get around it of course but it's not ideal.

Come to think of it yeah you're right cos I remember one of the shanks sticks in the caliper on the offside on mine, so yeah threads are in axle for sure. Bah

Might change my mind then and get some new brackets for mine.

Got a few folk to speak to tomorrow regards getting a solid 10 spline case!

Thanks JM

you can make imperial hole on caliper bigger to take metric bolt accurately (ftc3375)

 

[Mr Noisy]

Ah right that's good to know, was thinking that sizes were similar and would not be able to change the thread.

I guess that metric bolts are a fine pitch M10, perhaps 1.25?

 

[jamesmartin]

its hole in caliper not thread you alter needs to be good fit for new bolt ftc3375

 

[Mr Noisy]

Ok James no probs can easily get a tap for new bolts.

thanks for part number also, invaluable as usual

Robin has a pair of bare axle cases sitting in the lockup.

 

[jamesmartin]

no .drill out your old caliper to fit new metric bolt shank, threads in case dont touch that

Lock up is in Yeovil & Robin is RobinT send him a PM or just wait he'll turn up if he smells money

 

[Mr Noisy]

Yeovil isn't really ideal for collecting though...
