I asked Martin Kingston on Friday about this when he was down to pick up the trailer and he has confirmed the 185 and 205 diff mounts are different internal diameter. He is going to send me the measurements. I'll post them up on the forum when I get them. He says there are other differences in the diff mounts too.

Aaahh balls sorry forgot to measure I will do it tomoz

The 185 and 205 diff carriers are interchangeable but different the diff carrier bushes leave a gap on the 185 underneath, the 205 sits flush, I will try dig pics up to show ya what I mean so unless toyota have superseded the old part numbers to the rev 3 then the should be different, this is exactly why I fitted the 205 variation to my cs, I will measure for you tomorrow to confirm one way or another make sure am not imagining with the diameter of the bush

To illustrate the difference between the ST205 and ST185 differential carriers (N.B. NOT the rear subframe!) I've posted my pics below:

ST205 Diff Carrier with OEM Bush



Diff Carrier
ST205 on the left and ST185 on the right. you can see the rusty surface where we removed the old bush metal jacket after the diff carrier had been powder-coated. I originally thought the metal jacket was part of the diff carrier



BRD Bush in ST205 Diff Carrier
The bush was quite loose with at least a couple of mm clearance





BRD Bush in ST185 Diff Carrier
The bush could be pushed in by hand. No press required.
