RaRo diffs into Series

[Dave (Kent)]

OK, I'm now the proud owner of a '63 2A.

I had the idea of putting RaRo diffs in as a way of increasing the gearing, but someone has told me this is only possible on S3s.

Anyone know if this is true?

Any advice/guidelines from those that have done this appreciated.

Thanks

Dave

Thanks -
Now that is a thread and a half!
Another dumb question - what year Rangers have the correct diffs?

All "Classic" or proper Range Rovers have 3.54:1 ratio diffs. The later 4 door may have 24 spline side gears so buy a diff from a 2-door.

Main problem with fitting Range Rover diff into a series is that low ratio is not that low anymore resulting in very poor engine braking when used off road.

Series low ratio is about 2.2:1, all coil sprung have a low ratio of 3.3:1, that is how they get away with higher ratio diffs.
