Having read in a number of places that the 95 one is desirable for "rough" use, what are the real differences between the 95 and 96 versions?

Hi Rhys,
the 96 rear axle is about 43mm o/d while 95 axle is about 50mm o/d and has more rigid spring seats

The coil spring seats are different, can be unbolted from the hub, on the 96 the stub and hub are one piece.
Also wheel bearing is different.
