Very true. It will be hit and miss and more miss than hit.
All I'm trying to do is to note the ones we know about. We'll definitely miss a few but it really helps when someone claims to have bought a tub from X and built it up into a new car to have noted when that car was retubbed.
E.g. the tub bought from Dave Prophet by Roy Lane at the end of 1970. I still haven't figured out why Prophet would have had a damaged tub and I can't now be bothered to work through Autosport looking for it. Similarly, Duncan Fox's ongoing work on the 'A' and 'B' M10 tubs is aided by knowing if a car was retubbed. The 'A' tubs seem to continue well into the M10B production but the number of M10Bs that were rebuilt on a new tub at one point or another is quite problematic.
