Brake Line Bracket Modification Upon Differential Replacement

AFFECTED VEHICLE RANGE:

DISCOVERY Series I (LJ) All
DEFENDER 90 (LD) All

SITUATION:

REAR BRAKE LINE BRACKET DOES NOT FIT AFTER REAR DIFFERENTIAL IS REPLACED

When existing supplies of current-design differentials (FTC3272) are exhausted, a new design differential (FTC5142) will be supplied. After installation of the new design, spacer washers will be required to properly mount the differential mounted brake line bracket. The spacers compensate for differences in the casting used in the new design.

RESOLUTION:

INSTALL SPACERS BEHIND BRAKE LINE BRACKET

Upon installation of a new design rear differential (FTC5142) on a Discovery Series I or Defender 90 vehicle, before fitting the brake line bracket, install two spacers (TYF101160) between the bracket and differential housing.

PARTS INFORMATION:

FTC5142 New Design Rear Differential (Will replace FTC3272)
TYF101160 Brake Line Bracket Spacers Qty. 2

WARRANTY CLAIMS:

Normal warranty policy and procedures apply

REPAIR PROCEDURE

CAUTION:
Failure to use the proper spacers could result in a loose brake line bracket.





1. Slide spacers onto brake line bracket retaining studs located on the front of the rear differential housing (Figure 1).

2. Install brake line bracket.

3. Secure bracket with bracket retaining nuts.
