As I understand it, the FC101 Sals use weak rover axles.

i'm pretty sure 101 axles are 1.5 inch 30 odd spline axles.
i started with these diff because of the strength in housings axles and c.v's

The forward control is based off a Landcruiser FJ45, and uses 1.5"axles.

They may well be 1.5" axles, but FC101 is based on an FJ45!! What parts are Landcruiser?

101 diffs are a straight fit for lwb s111's
same steering large brakes, only the front shaft needs a mod because of the length of salisbury 3rd member
they can also be sprung over easily because of existing perches

WHAT :shock: :shock:

The 101 FC was released by Land Rover in 1962 based on the Land Rover Series 11A...

IIRC the FJ 45 was released sometime around 1964/5
