TA22 Five Stud Conversion

[sauceman]

Evening. Has anyone redrilled the hubs of a TA22 to make 5 stud? Is it difficult? Any pics of proper procedures would be appreciated.Thanking you in advance.

wouldn't you be better off going for different hubs/front end?

I think it would be a little dificualt to redrill ta22 hubs because of how they are set up with the disk bolted to the hub.

It can't be done. The TA22 hubs only have 4 equally spaced flat surfaces where the back of the stud sits. Then you've also got the mounting surface for the disc which is not on the same plane.

If you wish to go 5 stud it's a matter of actually changing the hubs (maybe to some from a crown?).

You would need to upgrade the strut before you could go crown hubs.

i know someone with ms65 hubs they want to get rid off too.

[sauceman]

Thanks for your thoughts. Crown bits aren't available where I live, but maybe Cuzzo could let me know more about his mates parts. I would have tried to redrill after welding up original stud holes, but you have talked me out of it at the moment.

[sauceman]

Had a look and you are right LeeRoy. The pits. Ae86 hubs are the same. I'm sure there is a way.Hammer time.

RA60/XT130/RA40 and MS65 all share the same bearing. (aswell as HQ)

Therefore you can put a 5 stud (MS65 Hub) on the above strut. (in combination with a brake setup)

[CheeseBiscuits]

Yeah Ms65 hubs are the go with rt132 or XT130, or a similar strut that shares the same bearing as Cuzbro said.



Then a hilux rear end gives you the same pattern on the rear. ^_^
