Does anybody know of a supplier of heavy duty 10-spline halfshafts for
Series Rover axles? I'm sick and tired of snapping the ones on my
recovery truck whilst towing. This is the third set in 500 miles.

Thanks

Alex

Fit a Salisbury axle to it, I take it it's a 109" but it's not much work to
fit one to an 88".

Or use 4 WD whilst towing, even on the tarmac, s'what I do, even with a
Salaisbury axle.

I would fit a salisbury axle, which you can get stronger halfshafts
for, but I do not intend to keep using the truck as a towing vehicle
once my 6x6 recovery project is completed. I don't want to divert
funds from the project to the existing truck, as finances are very
tight at the moment.

I should use 4wd, i guess, but it doesn't half produce nasty steering
effects on/after corners....
