RRC Rear disc conversion on 90

[bigfatsi]

I recently bought an axle from a Range Rover Classic to take the diff out for my 90. (Cheers Richie) Now the axle has the rear discs on and I'm wondering if I can stick em on my 90 axle? I can't swap the whole thing because unfortunately at some point in it's life someone cut off the spring hangers/mounts. Can I remove the 'Discy bits' (Technical term) and bolt em on in place of the drums on the 90 axle?

now am not sure but inst it a imperial axle  :?
as in a previous thread u were asking if a imperial diff will fit into a metric casing
to tell if your axle is imperial or metric simply look at the shocker mounts and if they r both on same side its metric, if they  on opposite sides its imperial, if its imperial it wont fit unless you weld some new shock mounts on aswel

I think the axle is imperial. Come to think about it, as someone mentioned earlier, I wouldn't be able to put any oil in it if I swapped my metric diff in anyway! The oil filler is on the other diff!  :lol:
D'uh.

Cheers guys. Drums it is.

My series III had the filler on the diff and when I broke iy the replacement diff had no filler, used to fill it by wipping out the halfshaft.  make sure it is jacked up on the side you are filling from though or it's really messy.
