Default Blown diff! Help / advice needed! (located in UK)

Hi everyone!
I recently lost drive on my 1999 LWB LT while on the motorway.
On inspection it turned out that the pinion bearing had collapsed. This has caused the teeth to grind down - ouch!
I've tried to locate parts here in the UK to fix this but so far failed.

Anyone know:-
  • If back axle from anything else fits?
  • If it's possible to convert an earlier drum brake axle to disk brakes?
  • Is it worth trying to get a ring / pinion / install kit or will the filings from the pinion have damaged the rest of the diff?
  • Any breakers yards in the UK with Blazers?
  • Next weeks lottery numbers?

Thanks,
Chris.
