    Default MS85 RA23 Corona struts

    Ive done a search and have had no luck

    Ive found an MS85 crown a mate pushed into a gully on his farm

    I want a 5 stud pattern and am wondering if I can use the hubs and calipers on my XT130 struts in my RA23 ?

    Thanks

    not directly

    the only 5 stud hub that will bolt on to the corona or celica hub is the MS65

    i do recall someone modifying a ms85 hub to suit try searching for it

    As has been said MS85 hubs can be modified to work (machine to suit other bearings, as a note the conversion bearings are significantly / lots more expensive). Heck I even did a document up showing what had to be done...

    MS65 is the bolt on way to go

    Btw the thread this was listed in was titled (Great engrish in the title eh bah)
    "Guide: Using Modifying MS85 hubs to fit MA61 etc"

    And came up as the 7th search response when I searched for "MS85 hubs" (To help you improve your searching skills in the future ).

    The pdf should still be
    PDF HERE <CLICK>

    As it says it is just a guide, check it all yourself before you make it happen

    Also if someone wants to add it to the techdocs by all means that would be good (I don't rate that free hosting all that much...)

    Cheers
