Are Victor 101 FC stub axles and hubs the same as Viva GT ?

Hi
Will Viva GT stub axles and hubs bolt onto an HA ? - would this permit 10" brake discs using 13" wheels ?
Final question - are Victor 101 FC (1964–67) stub axles and hubs the same as Viva GT ones ?
Thanks

HB GT will fit HA as will HC but your problem with 13" wheels is clearance of the inner wings on lock :roll:

Isn't 10" quite a big disc? By the time you have the caliper on the modified mountings I suspect it might foul the wheels. Might be better looking at a vented disc conversion rather than larger diameter. Can't help on what will fit on HA, though.

Hi all
Are Victor 101 FC (1964–67) stub axles and hubs the same as Viva GT ones ?
As I have located a pair from a Victor FC that has been scrapped,
but I'm not sure if these are any good for Vivas!
Can someone check the parts-books please?
Thanks

Hi Fred
I suppose HA tolerances are quite close to achieve a tight turning circle.
I'm not sure whether the HA had 145/70-12 or 145/80-12 tyres originally
-----------------145/70-12 --- 145/80-12 ---Difference
Diameter inches -- 19.99" ----- 21.13" --- 1.14" -- 5.7%
Width inches ---- 5.71" --- ---- 5.71" --- 0" -- 0%

Changing to a 175/55 R13 there is 30mm difference, about 15mm on either side
-----------------145/70-12 --- 175/55-13 --- Difference
Diameter inches -- 19.99" ------ 20.58"---0.59" -- 2.9%
Width inches ---- 5.71" ------- 6.89" -- 1.18" -- 20.7%
I suppose it would fit but not on full lock
Phew lots a work to do a table!
