WMS to Pinion to WMS dimensions help please
By: abosely Date: May 8, 2017, 12:05 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Would anyone happen to have a Series IIA/III set of axles that
they could measure the WMS (wheel mount surface) to the center
of the pinion and to the WMS, for the front and rear?
Mine are all disassembled, so makes it a bit difficult to me
sure mine. :-(
Cheers, Allen

Hi Allen,
I don't think this is something that most people would know, or
have the need to know. "Alternative" development of Land Rovers
in USA had gone in a different direction from that in UK ... EG:
I have never know anybody in UK to "cut-and-shut" a rear axle in
UK (though it may have been done), but I read about it being
done in USA, over 50 years ago, whithout anybody expressing
surprise. I realise you are not going to that extreme.
The easy answer would be for somebody to jack up their Series,
pull both rear wheel, and measure across the drums. Not so easy
for me, at 78, removing two wheels is not the fun it used to be.
Taking the car into my garage nose first is an effort, and then
I'd have to fix my big jack ... But if you are desperate for
this information, I will try to fit you in, but not in the next
few days.
How accurate do you need to be? Could you take the maker's
dimension for TRACK, and add/subtract the WHEEL OFF-SET. Track
should be measured from centre of tyre to centre of tyre, but
the wheel-offset can depend on which wheel are fitted.
Your rear axle is dismantled? I believe the track is the same
for both front and rear axles.

Hi Abosley,
Measure the distance between your wheel rims. (Dimension A)
Measure the distance between the inside face of your spare
wheel, and the inside edge of the rim (Dimension B).
Multiply Dim.B by 2, and subtract from Dim.A.
