Thanks Mark I?ve looked at it. It doesn?t solve the outer hub and axle issue.  
Canley has discontinued anyway.    The similar product being offered by 
wishbone classics   That is similar also does not supply the outer hub and 
short axle and they led me to believe it was sourced from Goodparts as with the 
full upgrade  kits for the TR they source.

Canley in England has a CV axle set up for the Spits and GT6.

Vince - I'm not sure that the TR6 axles would fit your GT6 because the bearing 
carrier for the Herald-based cars is a lot smaller than the TR6 is. I suppose 
you could make it fit, but you'd have to make a custom hub carrier. That said, 
I know that folks have done various solutions using stub axles from cars like 
the 240Z. The "trick" would be to find a hub flange that can be drilled for the 
Spitfire / GT6 bolt pattern and then work from there. And you can get brand-new 
stub axles for the 240/260/280Z.

Else, source something from the UK.

Also - do you have a GT6 Mk 2 or the early or late-late setup? That also makes 
a difference in the solution.

For my TR6, I run Corvair hubs like Group 44 did. But I had those hubs built up 
about 20 years ago - the Corvair parts are pretty scarce now. If I were to 
build a new car, I'd def. buy the Goodparts setup - he makes really excellent 
parts!

Good day all,

I am wondering if anyone has tried John Goods Axle conversion kit on their 
racing GT6?  It is a CV conversion but doesn?t replace the Hub which worries me.

There are sturdier more complete TR6 kits but I?m not sure I could retrofit one 
of those.

Thanks for any feedback.

Vince
