I belive the ventora axle could be modified to fit a HB, allbeit wider than a normal axle.
I wish I could find the articles I had seen about using a Ventors axle on HB race cars....
It is a lot wider than a HB axle mind, but if you were going down the route of bubblke archs like the DTV then not an issue...

There's an Izusu Piazza axle on ebay. Dunno if these are any good for Vivas but lots of them get used on Chuvits.
Sorry can't link to ebay from work due to internaet Nazis.

Cheers for replys!!!
Piazza one I had in NZ on my last chevette there but it was off a twin cam piazza- not a turbo one and bolts straight in- has a torque tube. The turbo ones here are 5 linked, bit trickier to fit(top link location..) and the hand brake aint so nice.
Magnum ones...I'm not sure- are they torque tube or 4 link?
Reason I need one is I may put a V8 in Viva I'm HB getting. But if I don't and fit a cross flow instead I'll stick with the standard one.

Viav HC, firenza, droop snoot and magnum all use a four link axle with no torque tube
