Good morning,

I am building a 1962 Austin Mk1 for Historic Racing in South Africa. One of the things I would like to know is in which year Group 2 arches were actually used for the first time. So far I understand that it was post 1966.

Can anyone actually confirm this date or hopefully tell me it was pre 66.

Thanks

Group 2 arches were not used before 1966 - Group 3 arches were used in 1965 on rally cars.

colin.

According to the Homologation Sheet - wing extensions

are dated 1st. March. 1968. The sheet is no: 5028/7/5.

I run an 'S' in the H.S.C.C. Historic Saloons and the cut off date is 1966, therefore arches are not permitted. I can get 4-1/2 Minilife under the arch.


Regards. Colin.
