We never got those models in Australia, so help might be a little thin! i'm using RT132 struts in the front of my RA28 (same geometry as your 23), suggest you look for them, or get some measurements for me to compare against mine (specifically the brake mounts). Interested in finding out how much a TT131/2 engine crossmember would be posted to me, as a favour to me?

TT141 is a early 80's Corona isn't it? If so... I don't think the RA23 and TT141 struts are similar (completely different)...
Though I can be wrong...
Cheers.

thanks for the help
i think TT141 is the boxed shaped corona of the early 80's, i thought it was ST141 but anyway that is what was scribed on the strut. dont know which model TT131 is either...never heard of this one. The biggest problem is that i can't find a tt132 strut...just hope its the same as a 131.

TT141/2 run a larger ball joint and steering knuckle setup, and as such are not a direct bolt in, stay with struts from the era of your RA23.
