Gone from bad to really bad. I need to source a secondhand S3 (swb) 1983 rear axle. Bastard is corroded at the axle bolts that secure the back plates fur the brakes. Any suggestions on where I can source apart from flea bay gratefully considered. Landy going to be grounded for a while.

the tube flange ends are badly corroded?
 
I've got a spare one knocking about but it needs a new diff pan welding in. Any good to you? 90pc sure it's rear but would have to double check.
 
Oops meant to say as well as part number that sounds interesting. I'm trawling around independent landy garages. Ideally need a decent condition axle casing, can source all the rest and the differential is ok.
 
Ok. Should have said it's just the casing, not a complete axle. I'll let you know if it's front or rear when I get the chance.
 
Heh heh. Back on the road at last. What a muddle getting parts. Backplate that’s £75, stub axle, bearing kit, sundry bolts, hub kit, half shaft etc. Came to £450 with garage labour. Missed all the snow but good to be running again.
 
I've a set of backplates after my brakes purchase cock up if u still need them
Sorry just seen the date of the post!!
