Remember this was for the BSCC but yes, the certificates provided "enhanced" accessories such as those drop links, 48IDA etc. I've seen copies of the certificates produced by Ford. Some of those were later homologated for Group 1 (that carb again). I believe only Ford produced them at the request of the teams.

Right? Could you keep the same HTP front page with only red pen marks written by an official scrutineer after this kind of alterations?

Yes as was remarked at Oulton Park, my HTP has no red marks, and the engine is sealed.

I know Martin Thomas has some but he was a constructor. Not sure he's willing to sell them though, he's always worth talking to though for reasons other than these certificates. Again Ric W will have some copies, if not an original.

Understood. As long as the punters realise the differences and that's always a problem hence at Goodwood it really isn't competitive anymore.
