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

  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.

  =20

  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.

  =20

  BTW - these are the stub axles from the articulated independent rear =
second series Corvair, not the early Nader swing axle cars.

  =20

  You can see some photos of my car's rear suspension at =
http://www.britishracecar.com/ScottJanzen-Triumph-GT6.htm

  =20

  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.
