Hi Jim,
If you're happy with a simple live axle then the Triumph Dolomite
and Morris (Austin) Marina share the same PCD as the Spitfire, though the
offset is different. Earlier vehicles include the Standard (Triumph) 8 & 10,
but they are substantially weaker and wouldn't be recommended with anything
larger than an 1147cc engine.
Does the TR7 use the same hub pattern? Certainly plentiful wherever
you are!
Cheers,
Bill.
