Wheels were Weller for the Triumph Vitesse I seem to think, anyway 5.5" x 13" pressed steel.

The front uprights came from a Triumph Herald as did many cars of the time.
Master brake/clutch cylinders and sundry other parts came from a local breaker's yard.... I remember driving my old Mini there with Barry several times to buy some used parts. I once impressed the hell out of Alan by polishing an old master cylinder so it looked brand new again! Ain't the race car building business a bwitch!?

FSL Cars was the original company (1974) and it stood for Filmer-Sankey (Alan's original partner) and Langridge. Then Image was set up and .... well, that's another story.
