I'm new to this. I need some split pins to fit the castellated nuts on my Series 2A rear axle half shafts under the dust cap. I ordered some thinking they were the right ones but they were far too big.

I see on the Paddocks Spares site there are different split pin options - they are not described in terms of gauge or length though, but as "corresponding to 2393", for example, and other numbers.

Is that a part number? I checked my Haynes Workshop Manual and Land Rover Series 2 and 2A Repair Operation Manual (big green book) but don't see part numbers listed.

Where can I find parts numbers for everything on my Series 2A Land Rover? Does such a thing exist?

Cheers!

Do a web search for Smithies landrover should bring up a NZ website where you can down load them in pdf format.

Cheers! I need a pair of 2428.

This part number alone doesn't help me on the Dingocroft or Paddocks websites.

Bearmach do take part numbers in their search box though, and list some split pins for Defender/Disco/Range Rover etc. that are labelled as "Supersedes 2428", so I will try those.

A bent bit of welding rod can come in handy but no part number.

I usually measure the hole in such circumstances and buy stainless ones off eBay.

Is welding rod strong enough?

Fair point - in this case any split pin that fits would be fine. But at least I know where to get a part number now for cases where it does matter.

Cheers all!
