I'm curious to see what other answers come up. Steve Smith used to prep =
the uprights to accept Datsun stub axles and (I think) TR6 halfshafts - =
see Kas' first book for photos.
My car came to me with the uprights modified to accept larger (unknown =
origin) bearings and Corvair stub axles, with the Corvair wheel flange =
turned down and re-drilled for the Triumph bolt pattern, and Spicer =
halfshafts. They've been trouble-free for me; I'm about to pull them =
apart for servicing and probably have a duplicate set of uprights made =
up so they'll be interchangeable with what's on my car. I believe Lotus =
Europa owners also swapped out for the corvair stub axles at the time. =
This was the solution "back in the day". Any good driveshaft shop can =
make up the halfshafts.
BTW - these are the stub axles from the articulated independent rear =
second series Corvair, not the early Nader swing axle cars.
You can see some photos of my car's rear suspension at =
http://www.britishracecar.com/ScottJanzen-Triumph-GT6.htm
Today, though, you might want to go the Datsun route for better =
availability, and look at the write-up in Kas' 2010 boo on Chuck Gee's =
car, which uses a hybrid of Datsun and some cool CV joint axles.

Thanks for any help.
