They were protested during qualifying by Dick Johnson- More from Billy Tuckey's book:

'Johnson immediately fired in his counter-protests on the Walkinshaw Commodores. These covered a number of areas, but most importantly nominated the steering racks as modified VK Commodore racks instead of the variable-rate power steering racks as fitted to the homologated VL, and the way they had been extended to fit the different VL front cross-members by welding aluminium end-lugs. The other major complaint concerned the front spoiler of the No.10 Perkins car'
