There are references to this chassis, B31#5 in the above thread. The tub has been modified and re=enforced to accommodate the DFV, and as raced in 1976 by Raymond/Blakeney. Research so far carried out seems to indicate this tub is the original chassis 5 and later modified. It is not known if the modifications were carried out at 105 Chorley Old Road.
Update, following more investigation, the modifications to this tub, for the DFV, would not appear to have been carried out at Bolton. Certainly some work re welding is defintely not Bolton, though the central section has all the hallmarks of being pure Chevron. Chassis B31-5 was supplied new to Martin Raymond, now confirmed from original records.
