Re: Rear diff ratio's

Ok, I don't really want to make a customer case and custom axles, as this is a low budget vehicle.

But interested in the 9" fitting the toyota housing. Is there a 9" centre that would fit the 60 series axles or would I still need custom axles?

15" rims for D2?

G'day All,

Just wondered if you can get 15" rims to suit D2's? I know the 16" alloys are close to the steering arms and caliper, but It looks like a 15" rim would fit with alittle bit more offset.

Re: fine spline VS coarse spline

yes the early CV's are bigger than the later ones, but you can convert to defender CV's which is the biggest stock CV again. But again to get more strength you would go aftermarket CV's or do some sort of conversion. I would just run the 24spline front diff, the axle will be weaker than the smaller ...

Re: fine spline VS coarse spline

There is alot of good tech info on this thread. Although not much of it is any good in the real world, any rover standard axle is weak and probably made of cheese. If you want any strength you need to buy aftermarket axles and hub flanges. Yes the salisbury axles 24 spline and 30mm diameter is the ...

Re: The New Defender Noob Question

To be honest they have sorted out the bugs of the puma, they were prone to getting water in the fuel tank due to a badly designed breather, which brought the engine light on and normally stuffed the fuel system. early ones had oil jet issues on the pistons and rattled at cold start, but all engines ...
