hiya me again with more questions.
first off,
when i brought my first 110 defender i remember the guy saying after the cash sale,
the axles are heavy duty Salisbury, i think he said snatch.
im not sure how to find out, is there any numbers or slighty diff looking,
will put a pic up later,
also my modulars
they look like split rims but i cant work them out, ive seen loads of other mods ,
but not with the allen key bolts round the wheel,
ive seen some that look like there small bolts, but more of a weld blob to look like there split. look at pics please, are these just standard or a bit more heavy duty, they where on the truck when i got it.
thanks again
ian

Are they actually bolts? The ones with the "weld blob" are just a push fit plastic insert to make it look pretty. I found this out when I used a cub wheel on the angle grinder the clean them up before painting. After that I knocked them all out so now have a line of holes around the outside with nothing in. I would not be surprised if these are the same just with a different decorative cap. What does the inside look like? If the other side is just a peg they will be the cosmetic plastic inserts.

Edit: just looked more closely at your photo and as some already seem to be missing they are almost certainly plastic

As it is a 110 the rear axle will be a Salisbury as standard. The easy way to tell is to look at the diff shape. On a rover axle the diff look s like round circle in the middle of the axle. On a Salisbury it is much bigger and an odd shape not a circle. You can also get Salisbury front axles but these are rare and very expensive. if you put up a photo of each axle they should be fairly easy to identify.

No problem, I always assumed they were metal rivets on mine until they disappeared when sanding the rust off!

Unless it is a very specific usually military variant or has had one retro fitted I would expect the front axle to be a standard rover item. The diff shape should be the key see below photos from google:
Rover diff

Salisbury Diff

These photos are the rears axle but I believe the Salisbury front has a similar shaped diff to the rear and not the rounded rover item..

I’d be more concerned that you seem to be missing the hub cap.

Sorry to hear it. They are a lot more hard wearing and unfortunately a lot more expensive. Plus they add about 200 Kilo's of weight to your vehicle. When I took the old one off I could maneuver it on my own. The Front Salisbury took three guys.
