Salisbury onto my rangie

[buster uk]

Hi guys,
I've got hold of a disk braked salisbury rear axle for my range rover. Im going to fit it this weekend.
Does anyone know if i can use the abs sensors and trigger ring or the ends from my axle ( disk ,caliper,stub axle etc) and put them on the salisbury casing ?

cheers

well the wheel bearings and drive flange are the same part numbers.
Still unsure if the complete ends can be swapped.

I'm afraid I just don't know, so it might be suck it and see.

Can I ask why you want to put a heavy boat anchor on the back of your RR.  They are strong, but also heavy and stick down alot further than a standard axle.  Contrary to popular belief they are not unbreakable and can be a pain to fix.

because i've blown 11 diffs so i thought i'd try it.
i was hoping for a bit of help on this.Looks like its going to have to come to bits.

Sorry was not trying to be negative.  I've largely avoided Salisburys because they are so heavy and we are always on a mission to save weight.  Are you doing this on a budget - the other option is a 4-pin rear diff (about £200) or some form of locker (£350+) which are all heavy duty and gives you the added bonuis of extra traction.

hello , no need to apologise  :D 
Sorry im just sick of blowing diffs because of the large tyres.I wish i hadn't gone so big.
I payed £300 for the salisbury ! where can a 4 pin diff be bought from ? i always thought lockers were £500 ish.

cheers

The Ashcrofts of this world will do you a new/recon 4-pin, but I don't know how much.  Otherwise its a case of keeping your eyes open.  I have one but its in the car.

Equally a Detroit Truetrac or similar, probably is £500 by the time you've had it built, but I don't think the component parts are much more than £350.

Getting a standard diff professionally built or pegged is another option that might buy you some longevity, but 11 is quite alot!
