Figured I would move this out of the Wanted thread since I now have the rear and have started working on it. Hopefully it consolidates some info for future noobs like myself. I know there are other threads on this in various places, which fueled this for me, but didn't see a 1 stop thread to consolidate. For now, only working on rear but I have front axle also from D1 as well. Parts are sourced from a 98 D1.
*I realize the previous discussions about 10 and 24 spline axles, no need to revisit as money is already spent. My motivation behind this is that my tub is off, I need rear brakes, these axles were pretty damn good deal, and I love spending money on this Defender on things I don't necessarily need.
Need some confirmation on parts. Appreciate the help in advance.
1. Seals and Bearing. Looks like the kit is the same for Defender and D1. I believe the "newer" style kit is 2 bearings, 1 double lip seal, lock ring/washer, and the gasket. Is there anything else I need? I plan on using the timken/corteco kit as I trust those more than 3rd party.
Bearmach BK 0105A kit. Could not find other universal part number for the kit.
2. Suspension/frame parts. One of the trailing arms from the D1 is bent, and the "A" arm on the defender is in 100% better shape including the center ball joint. Will there be any fitment issues with the Defender arms and A arm on the D1 Axle?
3. Bushings. I'm deciding on which bushings to use. The OEM are extremely pricey, so likely will likely pick up some soft/medium poly. Looks like either polybush or superpro. Are the only different bushings the front arms, with D1 being wider? I see that they are different kits, but it looks like the rear is the same.
4. Brakes. Deciding on which to go with. If price and sourcing work out, I'll go with 110 brakes based on previous posts and some chatting with other members. If it gets too pricey or difficult to source, I'll grab some D1 as it's readily available. I will bend some 3/16 line and figure out which ends to get. Anyone have a good lead on which metric ends I need or where to get them. I will source a flange kit somewhere as well to make the double flange. Planning to use Goodridge SS +2 lines in case of future lift.

STC1269 Caliper Drivers Side
STC1268 Caliper Passenger Side
STC1601 Pads
STC8576 Hardware kit
LR018026 Rotors
D1/D90 Parts list:
In Progress
5. Diff. Not planning on doing much here unless I see some chunky oil or undesirable noises. hard to say if the flange seal has any issues, so likely will run it and only pull out if needed.
6. Refinish. I was hell bet on trying out rust bullet, until I found out that brake fluid ate through it. I may just run some chassis black over some good epoxy primer, but also considering POR15. Didn't want to completely clean 100% of all old paint off, but it's an option.
If you have any used/new parts relating to this burning a hole in your garage shelf, let me know!
