What hub do you use with that upright? I presume it also is a bespoke item, as I can't think of a production hub with a square flange and four bolt holes (except for some Type1/Type2 rear hubs).
I have made similar hubs (though more streamlined) that use the ubiquitous early Golf/Jetta bearing which is pressed in. If I can locate the pictures, I'll post them.

that upright has a sierra hub mounted to it , any hub is stronger when the stub axle goes through the bearing to which the wheel is mounted , ie not like cortina uprights that where the bearing is part of the flange .

RWD or 4WD sierra , ideally from one with drum brakes since it doesbt have a caliper mounting bracket these were designed with radial mount calipers
