Front Sals axle Q's

[greenmeanie]

Not 101 prototype axles as they were ENVs with 5.57 diffs. All 101s have 6 stud bolt pattern which was dictated by a common wheel used on the L118 light gun.

The Stonefield was a real oddity built not too far from home. It used axles from Hurth who are a German company I believe so that's out too.

I had thought about the RB44 which replaced the 101 (Or at least tried to but was a heap) but it also has a 6 stud pattern. If this has hubs for stock Rover 5 stud wheels it limits us somewhat.

Some pictures would help! Dids the spring perches come in stock spring under or spring over?

Man, this is a great thread

In reading an old copy of Land Rover enthusiast Magazine last night, there was an article on the series IIa and Series III One Ton models. The Series IIAs had an ENV front axle, which was replaced with a Salsbury front axle in the series III models. In looking at the photos, it still showed a 5 bolt wheel pattern. I don't know if this helps, but I found it ironic that I was reading something that may pertain to a thread on this forum.

Then again, after looking at the old posts on this thread, Ike ruled this out because of the width of the axle, and he knows a lot more that I on these rigs.
