Hello everyone
I'm in the middle of a chassis refurb on my 1989 110 csw I have stripped the chassis had it shot blasted
and I'm sending it for galvanising on Monday,
when I first got the land rover I dropped in a 300tdi disco engine and I still have the axles etc.
which I intend to fit to the landie,
I would like to know if the disco radius arms are the same ?
and anything else I should be aware of?

IIRC radius arms come in two different widths. Measurement will reveal.
Might be worth a search for the rest, most of that has been well covered before.

And remember, your disco rear axle is not rated to the capacity of your 110.

I understand its not rated the same but I doubt it will ever make any difference in real terms,
how many people load up there nineties and how many failures are there ?

I know what you mean, I was going to fit one myself and my 110 is never really going to be carrying that much weight but people said to me 'it will only matter when you have an accident and a switched-on insurance assessor spots it' and that's what put me off.
