I’ve seen one of those break after five laps in a 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
