Salisbury rear axle

[Reggieroo]

I've been offered a rear Salisbury axle to fit on my Rangie, the only problem is its drum brake.

My question is will this axle fit straight on & will I be able to fit discs without buying expensive conversion kits?

Hi Mate

IIRC  :-k :-k :-k :-k

Yes it will fit on

And they are a bitch (& expensive)if not impossible to change to disc

The propshaft will also need shortening IIRC.

yes it will fit,
you will need to shorten the prop slightly & if you get the genuine LR conversion kit takes about 3 hours to convert to discs

quick question for you,

What problem are you wanting to solve by fitting a Salisbury?  :-k

Trying to prevent a future problem.........................I have 37s fitted & I want to strengthen up the rear without spending a small fortune.

Yep, that'll need some attention!  :lol:

If it was my money, I'd try and get hold of a 02' TD5 110 back axle instead. It's superior to the Salisbury in all respects (apart from the cost of replacing shafts). The Salisbury is unecessarily heavy and unecessarily large for the job. it's also easier to bend than a standard Rover axle case. The diff is a total bind to remove, too.

The standard case is better bet, and upgrade parts are a lot cheaper. The TD5 110 rear has a very tough 4pin diff fitted (ala P38A) and has some of the best shafts LR made. The crown wheel is very good too. It cost a bit more than a Salisbury, but you won't need to get the prop modified - so that can ofset some of the cost/ hassle. It also won't add 20kg to your back axle.

Failing that, I'd also see what Ashcrofts could do me a set of shafts for.

Another quick question, as the RRC is a permanent 4 wheel drive both axles take the same torque. Will you upgrading the front axle too?

I've been told about the TD5 rear axle but decided against it due to cost, been told they're about £300 min to get hold of. The Salisbury is only £50 & I've been researching the rear disk conversion & I'm fairly sure I can do it for little money. The shortened prop shaft will cost £40 so not too bad all in all. It should cost no more than £150 by the time its all ready to fit. At the moment its all down to cash & I haven't got a lot............. :'(

The front axle........Mmmmm.........what to do, I'm not sure just yet. In an ideal world I would just chuck some cash at it & stick in an ARB, Ashcroft shafts & CVs but in my world it will just have to wait. If I can just get the rear axle sorted then I'm halfway there & I will just have to take it easy for a while.......... 8-[

Though fairly rare the sailsbury axle was fitted to the front of some land rovers (IIRC ambulance conversions). There was one for sale at billing, though I didn't find out what the asking price was.

A lot I would imagine, I seen one on ebay for about £800............ :-o I would rather upgrade my front axle with the Ashcroft stuff instead.

What about the front end of the 130, did that have a Salisbury like the 101?
