Thanks james, you are an asset to the forum!

Can i change stc226 for ftc2882? I know the swivel ball will have to be changed due to the bush/bearing difference. But will the swivel pin housing?

Hi everyone, Ive recently bought a pair of used swivel pin housings. I think they are off of a discovery 1 300tdi with ABS. Can i swap the top pin for the later taper bearing pin?

I’ve searched and searched and can confirm that they are definitely Early disco 1 / range rover classic 10 spline axles with the stubby outer shaft with integral drive flange. Question: Are they any better/stronger than newer axles? 300tdi, td5, tdci ?

Everything seems to point towards early discovery axles with 10 spline shafts. Can anyone confirm this?

It will fit yes, it will bolt directly to the engine and your existing mounts. You wont need new props. If you use the disco gear sticks they’ll be further back, so you’ll need to cut into your seatbox. You can use your defender gear sticks by getting the adapter from ashcrofts.

ok guys, bit of an update for you. the front and rear axles have integral drive flanges and I think that they are the thick ones. does this shed some light?

It was originally a 19j, it had a 200tdi in it when i bought it and now has a 3.9 v8:D Its been messed about with quite a lot over the years.

Hello forum members, Is it possible to identify what my axles have come off? I bought my 90 with the intention to strip it down and rebuild. Its a 1990 vehicle with solid discs all round. Ive scraped the paint away to try and find any identification numbers but nothing has stood out yet...

Spot on! I cant seem to pm you. Could you pm me your details please?

@slomofo I’ll have the td5/puma blanks

@ChrisBduck I've been through my garage and cant find the brackets. I have a feeling that i might have scrapped them, my apologies.

I might have one, i’ll have a look tonight. @ChrisBduck

I can’t answer your question, But your first picture has answered a question on a thread i started a couple of weeks ago. Thank you!
