I have read/heard from a few different sources that Rover 3500 (SD1) parts
can be used on a TR7/8 for better brakes, and a wider track. (and bigger rims)
What I am wondering is:
what parts interchange?
Would I use the SD1 struts/springs, or the TR7's?
Are the axle shafts the same length? Could I swap them?
If not, is the extended nose on the SD1's diff. removable?
What modifications need to be made?
Will I need to weld the TR7 strut tube to the SD1 spindle?
Will I need custom springs?
Will I need to do welding on the axle or frame?
Where can I find out more?
The places I read/heard these tidbits had no more information
than what I've listed.
One person recommended writing a british car magazine, but it
may take many months for them to respond with an article.
Thanks!

P.S. I am asking this because I have located a 3500 parts-car that I can
actually afford, and I would really like to uprate my brakes and
suspension.
