The GT6 and Vitesse use the same basic casting as the Herald (drum brake) and
early Mk1 Spitfires with the seperate caliper mounting bracket. The casting is
machined differently for the Vitesse/GT6 to accept a larger diameter stub axle
- this is presumably engineered to carry the additional weight of the 6
cylinder engine.
Cheers,
Bill.
