When I was building trailers I would cut the stubs and disk brake flange off a McPherson strut with a gas axe, pop the stub in the lathe and clean up a flat surface and weld it to my axle. Bolt on stubs on cars are few and far between. Muzz67 has shown you an easy option.

Think the mid 50's Austin had them and also something else around that area .they were not very strong . and would be hard to get now .

Humber 80 after using the angle grinder , used the brake backing plate threaded holes to mount the stub

mk1 zephyrs had bolt on stubs and the hubs have 5 studs. the killer with these is that inner and outer wheel bearings are about $100 EACH

So the stub was drop forged/high carbon and the axle would have only been mild steel. What welding rods did you use and did you preheat either part?
