Hi again, Flushed with the success of my tax-exemption thread, I have a couple of technical questions for you guys which I'm sure you can answer quickly. Once again if there's an FAQ I should refer to please point me there (have checked the one for this group).
1) If I understand correctly an "LT77" is the 5-spd. gearbox with full-time 4WD from 90 & 110 type onwards (variously superseded in 1990s). Will this box work OK with series-type axles? Or can I expect worse fuel consumption compared to an old-style box and free-wheeling hubs? (due to front drivetrain drag etc.)2) Is it possible to convert a series-type front axle to disk brakes? If so is it just a matter of swapping everything from the swivel ball outwards? I've seen some references to aftermarket kits, but I'm talking about using standard parts, assuming I had a whole axle as a donor.
Thanks in advance, Ruaridh.
