rangie axles ?

[bullfrog]

I have a pair of E reg rangie axles spare and want to fit them to my E reg 90. ( mainly to get disc brakes on the rear.
Will the 90 callipers fi the rangie axles to save messing around with brake lines.
I plan to fit Lamha extended brake lines but rangies are dual circuit fronts so have 2 pipes not 1 !
I also have some boost alloys but the centre caps dont go on at present due to hub cap seals on 90 axles.
Another reason to change.
Are the hubs different as I wondered if the rangie hubs( half shaft cap) would fit 90 front axle ???
Ay help would be great !

if you can wait till l8r ontoday ilkl explain as im in the middle of fitting a lift kit to a 90,

quickly though,rear axle is a straight swap if the shocks both pint forwards

front axle not sure about the calipers swaping over but i think they should,rangie shafts wont fit in a defender axle as the hubs n shafts are different

[bullfrog]

No probs, Wont be starting till monday ish !
I figured the front shafts were different ! Typical !
I know how to change rear ok , JUst wondered about front callipers.
Chat later dude. :)

[extreme90]

you can swap the whole front hub asembely over on the front axle over
i.e unbolt the whole swivle housing and ball straight off where it meet's the axle case
and then just change the calipers to the 90 ones
you will then be able to fit the ally;s to the defender
but the down side is the rrc cv's are not as strong as the 2522 defender ones but on the +  side they are a damn lot easier to change when they break, i,e you dont have to stand there t****** the living daylights out of them to change em, they simply slide off

as for rear axle, straight swap have one on mine

hope it helps danny

Is it easier to change the whole axle as I am changing the radius arms, springs, shocks and all bushes and brake lines so its only the prop to undo extra ? :?:

[extreme90]

easier to change the axle then, saves p****** around undoing things  then breaking stuff ect ect, just keep the 90 trackrod tho    slightly stronger allbeit slightly lol

Chhers guys,
I am extending the panhard rod too.
I am picking up rollcage tommorrow and poping into MM4x4 to get springs shocks and cones.
I have a hectic few days as want to get axles in and lift on for sunday !
Phew ! Hope the weather stays good ?
I need to make new roof bars for cage as I have made a kingcab so that will have to wait till next week. I am doing bluebottles exhaust on saturday too !

Dan: the track rods are the same bar the rangie one has the steering damper mount  

[bullfrog]

So in effect I could run twin steering dampers :?
The 90 one is in the steering guard so well protected.
I was gonna make a guard to bolt on the diff to protect the track rod.
Is hammerite alrigt to paint axles with ?
Should be and local shop has big tins for £3:99 at the mo (all colours)

dont bother with twin dampers,

ive got an axle guard left forsale that will protect the trackrod & also the nose of the diff,hammerite is ok but not as good as it was before,spent 4 weeks painting everything on the undersite of my dads 110 (axles etc EVERYTHING) & 8 months later it was starting to come off & a year on you wouldnt know we had bothered

Is the guard one of the south down ones ?
They are huge !
I was gonna rotory brush the axles first to give good key and zinc prime them as well .
I just though as they were out it wouldnt hurt to recoat them.
It is also my promo vehicle so needs to look reasonable underneath.
I plan to get it muddy but I also clean underneath as leaving it gives the rust beatles a home !

[Xtremeteam]

turbo is minted now
gonna try n borrow some 265's BFG muds for the weekend instead of running my SATS to wales  :lol:

[extreme90]

[bullfrog]

Ah ! A great big heavy plow then. :lol:
Look nice but must add a  :idea: fair bit of wieght to front axle although that could help with articulation !

[Xtremeteam]

if you get stuck with one o them on the front doesnt say much about yer driving ability  :lol: shout me on msn if you want to discuss

[bullfrog]
