Steve is right on the money.

'86-later axle works fine in an '85 carrier. You just need to switch to an '86-later style sprocket! :) I have '86-later axles in both of my '85s.

Yes Fred, the carriers themselves do not interchange. The '85 carrier has a smaller OD by about .080".

Thank God the later axles will work in the '85 carrier though! It can be hell getting your hands on an aftermarket '85 axle

A 400ex axle will fit right in as well. Just need the 400ex hubs.
