I've done many hours of searching and found nothing on a pair of hubs i have!! they measure 12 inch in diameter and are cast aluminium! there massive! There isn't any numbers anywhere, but i thought they must be off something old and sporty being so big in size using drums and being made from ali    imageupload |

Have you checked the girling part number on the wheel cylinder ? i cant quite make it all out when i enlarge the picture. On old parts i often use a magnifying glass and an LED light to highlight raised or stamped letters/numbers that appear hidden, last week i ID'd a WWII helmet for a mate who couldn't find the size, i media blasted it and spent 2 hours with the above just to find the size and factory of origin, i even take close up pics with a didgital camera (in macro) (the camera setting NOT the trade warehouse) then enlarge and play with the colours and contrast to ID parts  All i can make out is girling and "03310" i think the first number is a 5 but not sure and cant make out the last one (could be a letter not a number). |

you sure like these guessing games you do :') haha the part number on the girling unit only brought up 1 certain alfa, but i looked into the car and found it never used anything of a sort  . the girling is 303310w and google brings back barely a scratch of information. funny you say helmet! last year i had a helmet come to me and i thought someone spray painted it in luminous paint, but it turned out to be a very very old french firemans war helmet  |

Assuming it's a rear hub then there must be a limited number to vehicles with such independent suspension. 6 stud wheels are also going to reduce the number.
What about measuring the PCD and searching for vehicles with same ?

highvoltage don't say that... you will get my hopes up making me think i'm going to end up with lots of holiday money and a BRAKE from work <see what i did there :') haha. But i have thought of cars such as Bugatti/aston/jaguar but i just can't find pictures... i have emailed a vintage jaguar specialist, but no reply just yet. Like you say composimmonite i should be able to narrow it down with them facts, but i found it to be a hard game so far. Also have some parts with the hubs "no numbers" and they look like the bolt some how to the hubs, allowing a wheel to slide on and to be help on with a wing nut. I'll try get a picture of the parts later to show you how i mean, but my guess it is not a stud pattern that holds the wheel, but a winged nut.

I thought they were for wire wheels with a knock off spinner,they look a bit Riley ish off something like a pre war Kestrel but they didn't have alloy backplates as far as I know.I think some Morris 8's did but they don't seem to match up. |

The upright part looks like fabricated steel, could it be off a racing car which was old enough to have drum brakes?
