Stripped the main bits off it before it went through the shear. Also pulled an axle out of the boot.
The axle has been sat in my garage for about 5 months, yesterday I finally got round to stripping the disc conversion off of it, to fit onto my 410.
Once I realised the half shafts needed to come out, bearings pressed off etc, just to get the drum back plate off, I thought about just replacing the axle.
Took a few measurements, and it started looking doable.
But as I looked closer, it looks like it's been modified.
The spring seats have been welded on (Possibly just repairs, not sure).
They sit 3ft apart, same as my 410 spring seats.
I noticed that the square flange that the drum backplate bolts to, is rotated around by about 45 degrees, compared to my 410 ones.
And then I also noticed, that the total length of the axle is about 6 inches longer (Wider) than my 410 rear axle too.
Diff ratio is different, it's higher on the newer axle, not a lot, but defo higher.
It's had bits of threaded bar, and brackets welded to it, to hold all the brake pipe work, which I cut off to take the compensator and other bits and pieces.
If it's a Sami axle, my friend Rich wants it.
