If the Goodparts hub/cv axle can be adapted I highly recommend them, I have
them on my car and they are pure artwork.

Subject: Re: [Fot] GT6 Rear Hubs
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.
