If you are talking about the originally Rotoflex units, I did my own when I
installed the Corvette Diff.  I fabricated a single piece Hub/outer half
shaft to get rid of the problem with the hubs coming loose and upgraded the
outer bearing to the same as the inner.  Here is a link:

Subject: [Fot] GT6 rear hub upgrades

 

Is there any available rear stub axle/upright upgrade to replace the stock
units, or are we all on our own with fabricating these?  My car was
converted decades ago to corvair stub axles and I'm aware the Datsun units
are a good fit, but all still require fabrication, machining and welding,
skills I don't have in house and my engine machine shop isn't suited for
either.

 

I'd like to have spares for my car, and I have another GT6 that is likely to
be raced and will need these too.

 

Canley doesn't show anything, and I think Steve Smith is no longer producing
these.
