Bought a set of seconhand QT diff guards for my disco. Think they came of  Classic Rangie and told they would fit.
Managed to get the front on after a bit of cutting to get the Bl---dy heavy lead weight on.
Put the rear on and it hit the bolts on the drive shaft coupling.
Looks as if i need to do a lot of cutting down and welding to shorten it at the front.
Any Ideas Please

not off a rangey then, im sure they are all the same, only different one i thought would be the rear on a 110, being the salisbury type.
not had any but qt as far as i am aware is pretty good stuff, and im more than sure there stuff fits right, definately not needing cutting and grinding

Thanks
Just checked with the seller (a 4x4 dealer) and says it's definatey off a Rangie.
Maybe had a different rear axle?
It hits the diff coupling drive shaft bolts. It seems the slopped leading edge is about 1" too long and fouls the rear shaft turning.

not supposed to have a spacer or something is it, to drop the plate away from the prop.

When i moved my QT diff guards from my 200 to my 300 i had to buy a spacer  and longer bolts from QT.
They wasn't that expensive either

i bought some QT copies of eblag, i ahd to shave loads off the leading edge on the rear one to avoid fowling the drive flange bolts, and removed the harmonic weight all together on the front  8)

The rear QT guard defintely needs a spacer.

JB - you got the right idea with teh harmonic - ditch it!  :twisted:

Err, your sig says 300TDi Disco? in which case you have that rubber doughnut thingy rather than a UJ on the rear prop, that was only introduced on the soft dash RRC and 300 series Disco.

Oh and we all have to work round the cast iron harmonic damper (doughnut) on the front (read bin the thing).

i just moved mine from my 2
200 tdi disco to my 300 v8.... they were a straight fit in the 200.....


but

on the 300 i had to use 3 large washers to space it down enough to just miss the rear prop bolts.....simple

total cost   £0.60p  :wink:

I cut the front QT diff guard to let the balance weight fit. Seems OK
Great advice about the rear diff spacer. Emailed QT on Sunday and they rang me this morning. Spacer and longer bolts £8 +vat and postage.
Sorted and thanks

Well
The spacer arriced from QT for the rear guard and after paying them £13.00 i still had to fit to extra washers to give the clearnance to the shaft bolts. Why can't they make things to fit .
Great photo of the front guard . Did exactly the same with mine.
