Wonder if this car had one rubber rod end in the 4 link?
Jac, the Fahey car definitely had 16" wheels when it was first built and raced in 1973, to run the ETCC. It still had 16" wheels when Fahey imported it into NZ, and remained this way during his ownership. My guess would be it was later fitted with 15" wheels, possibly due to the availability/cost of 16" tyres.
