Johan,
My reference before to MKI wheels was just background on the different wheels you may find. The six bolt pattern is used by GT-40 and cobra, many others too including an Eagle F5000 but the centering of the Lola T-70 wheels is the wheel pilots over the axle flange.

Original Lola T-70 wheels need to be inspected very carefully. I see some being used for vintage racing but as I said before, many are afraid to use them.

The roll bar sockets are common to the MkII and MKIII tubs. I believe the MKI's didn't have them. Mine has lower mounts for the upper trailing arms to the tub, these mounts have a saddle on top of them and the roll bar sits in the curved saddle and has ears that attach to the upper link bolt.
