the brushes in the chassis for the leaf spring shackle bracket and the brushes in the end of the leaf springs

would it make any difference if you placed washers either side of the brushes before fitting bracket that hold up leaf springs

that is a possiblity if they are at the ends of the diff, i think they mybe call pinion seals

hi all, i have a rover diff and need the oil seals that sit just inside the diff where the swivel housing attaches,the swivel housing retainer plate bolts and the bolt locker tabs that fit against the brake back plate,could the defender parts be the same,as landrover state they no longer stock...

Thanks for reply but i was thinking the same myself about stationary part touching moving part,but i had to ask as this is my first full strip down and had to make sure...thanks all the same

hi all just fitting new wheel bearings on a series 3 1975 does the rear hub assembly butt up to the rear hub bearing sleeve or is there a 5+mm gap any help would be great

the cross member was bearmach but i think it may be out slightly, but i will try cutting the extensions down to get a better fit, no i have removed the tub put i have measured from front tub brackets 1.25m plus 5-8mm for spacers to inside of cross member

even with cutting the extensions to open them up it will not sit properly, one side seems ok with a bit of banging but the other side seems to ride high like the extensions are out, could i cut the extension back to minimum

i cut the old cross member off then cut off the remaining pieces from the ends of the chassis, as i was hoping the chassis would fit into the extensions of the new cross member, i'am i wrong in thinking this, should i cut the chassis to the shape of the extensions

i will try but will be tomorrow now

looking at the new cross member i would have thought the extensions would fit over the old chassis or iam i wrong,do i need to be chopping the chassis up to fit. Do i need to cut the chassis to the shape of the new cross member extensions ?

yes measured 1.25m size of tub plus a couple mm for spacers, the problem is the new cross member doesn't seem to line up or as i presume slide on too the chassis,i have chocked chassis with wood to keep width

x member with extensions that are about 18 inches long

sorry have just re-posted in series

hi all, just replacing rear cross member on a full rebuild series 3 1974 swb, i've cut off the old cross member and was hoping the new one fitted on like a glove but it doesn't......have i done something wrong? all help would be great many thanks
