NAMDAMAMI Occasional Poster Location: England Registered: November 2004	Re: AE86 into TA22 Fri, 03 June 2005 16:04 Hi, Thought I'd update on this matter. The guy with the rot box AE86 vanished off the face of the earth so it's taken me a while to source the parts I need. I now have the AE86 engine cross-member, steering rack and T50 gearbox. Cross-member measurements as follows: Transverse distance between rear chassis leg bolt holes = AE86 760mm / TA22 705mm (27.5mm out either side) Transverse distance between front chassis leg bolt holes = AE86 775mm / TA22 726.6 (24.3mm out either side) Longitudinal distance between front & rear holes = AE86 140mm / TA22 114mm (13mm out) Note that TA22 measurments taken from Toyota repair manual, AE86 measurments taken by me with tape (so approximate). So it won't bolt in (well I knew it wouldn't really, wishful thinking on my part), but could it be possible to make it fit? It would mean the AE86 item would overhang into the inner wheel well and may cause clearance issues. I'm also concerned about where the track control arm pick up is positioned in relation to the TA22 item. It's likely the track control arm will also be pushed out and then I'll have problems getting the anti-roll bar to fit. I need a spare TA22 cross-member for comparison, but now am thinking its a better idea to make one cross-member from the two. Chatted this idea through with an engineer friend of mine and he reckons it shouldn't be too difficult. The steering rack from the AE86 is probably a bit wide too, but I should be able to shorten the track rod ends. I'm not sure what effect this will have on the steering wheel lock though. Thoughts and comments welcome. PS - This will be a slow burner project. All effort this summer is trying to get my 260 back on the road. Cheers. [Report message to a moderator]
