Viva alloy Hub? chevette hub on viva upright?

as i want to get rid of my 4" PCD on the front of my sylva (rear´s is ford 4x108) and i do not find any alloy hubs for a viva i have 2 questions:

is there a suplier of alloy viva-hubs where i can choose the PCD?
would chevette hubs fit onto viva uprite? as chevette hubs are avalaile in alloy and ford PCD


and NO, i do not want to redrill my existing hubs, or using any PCD adaptors.

Check viva and chevette wheel bearing part numbers, if they are the same there is a good chance they'll fit.j

Eta some vivas had drum front brakes, so check the higher spec models, magnums and firenzas too

nope, they arent.

but i think to remember that somebody fitted chevette hubs to a viva upright (by mistake, as he didnt know the differnces) and it worked.

unfortunatley i dont remember who this person was.

Both are originally modified from Opel Kadette designs but different model generations. The main problem is likely to be that the discs mount on the wheel hub in entirely different ways.
