series/ discovery axle commonalities.

can any body inform me as to weather the flange on the front axle (between the hub & spring mount) of a 90/ 110/ disco' etc are the same dimensions as the corresponding flange on the series front axle?

if you mean where chrome ball bolts to no

its 6 bolt and later coil springs are 7 bolt. (Early RRC are indeed 6 bolt). However the coil spring axles are wider alot wider meanin you cannot fit the shafts because they do not fit. Also you will have trouble getting the track rod missing the springs. I'm about to embark on getting a coil spring front axle on my 80 inch leafer. but this will be purley offroad only mod for competing on the basis that you can get uprated shafts cheaper than a Series uprated Front shafts

Are you keeping it as leafs on the front or converting the chassis to coils?

My 109 had disco axles, the flange, drive shafts and bolt patterns are all totally diffo.
Stuffing disco flanges on a series axle tube is not all that easy, even if you have a toolroom.
The disco axle does go on the series, but you need to grind off all the spring and shocker mounts and make some new brackets, or you can modify some standard disco lifting mounts, and then you need to fill up and re-drill the flange threaded holes in the axle tube, as the series diff nose angle is way diffo, largely down to the fact the the series is effectively a trailing link suspension and the disco leading, meaning the geometry is all screwed up.
As hinted there are some rare examples of range rover stuff fitting, and you can get very exotic sally front axles with disc brakes, but you need a mortgage to buy them.

Leafs all round I like Leafs!!
