That is part of the problem .
If the type of part is obviously not of the period , [ modern electronics , 3 way adjustable units etc ] , then it should not be used .
But a lot of it comes down to common sense of the eligibility scrutineers .
It can be very difficult to actually prove use in period , & if the scrutes want to be bl**dy minded about it , you have to actually prove use on an International event .
But fitting things like a set of sidedraught 40 DCOEs , was very common back then , & any sensible scrute should say , " Yes , thats all right for Gp 2 ".
And as for an exhaust manifold , it would be nearly impossible to prove it was exact the same shape & material as used back 40 years ago , so some common sense must apply .
