Rolf and List:
My vixen is an M chassis car, so rack location would be different. My
recollection is that there was only one location. I did replace rubber with
polyurethane rack mounts.
As far as tyres: I've used 195/65x15 Continentals on the original wheels. They
should be close to the original diameter of the 165x15s. Ive kept the best of
the original Pirelli Cinturatos as a spare.
My car is still a work in progress, which I expect to get back to later this
summer, after I get the Morgan's problems squared away. Ive been putting off the
completion of this restoration too long.
