Only the tub of no 86 was destroyed in the fire as the car had been stripped down for an overhaul in preparation for the 1979 season. A new tub was purchased from Ralt and the car was rebuilt using all the original ancilliary parts. Kenny raced the car in RMC colours until May when the March 793 arrived. Kenny believes the old chassis plate would have been attached to the new tub.The car and lots of spares were sold at the end of 1979.
