I have just had on my Las Brisas 274 an outer wheel bearing collapse and disintegrate causing the right hand halfshaft to snap. This also damaged the axle housing.
Does anyone know where I can get a used axle for shipment to the uk.
The axle has a 10.5 crown wheel and has disc brakes.
Only six of this model were imported into the UK . I got mine new in Conecticut in 1991

I think you will find the axle to one of these three.
Here in the states they are known as
Dana 60
GM 14 bolt
Dana 70
THis is my best guess as to what is under your vehicle.

Thanks to Dick and mekanic for your reply.
The Vin for my RV is 1GBKP37WSK3324289 purchased in 1991 but an 1989 chassis. I have tried to locate Salvage yards in USA but can not access due to not having a US Zip code. I am told that this axle is obsolete and no new parts are available in the USA so I could have to try finding a used part and have it shipped to the UK. If anyone wants pictures of the halfshaft for identification purposes I can email them. I am very grateful for any help. Thanks Guys

Can you post a pic of the rear end cover so we know which kind of rear axle you have?
And you can make belive you are in Huntington WV by using zipcode 25701 when you are online. however if you call a salvage yard of any kind , the first thing they will ask is "what rear axle do you have"? .

Thanks Mekanic,
I have some photo's of the Halfshaft caps and the other halfshaft I will take a picture of the Differential cover if that is what you mean. Not sure how to post picture but I would be happy to email photo's thanks once again Brian
