It's 'Cary', Steve, no 'e' in it...
His brother, Ray Cary, had a wheel alignment business somewhere around Bankstown and raced an Elfin Clubman for a long time.
Bruce had an Anglia with a Falcon six in it before he built the Capri. His workshop was just up the street from Dave Mawer's place and they worked together on a lot of stuff. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that Big Dave did the suspension design. At that time, Bruce was an engine man more than anything.
Mawer wheels had been around for a little while, but this was probably one of the first tin-tops bigger than a Mini to use them.
One of the catalysts in it was that somehow the Grace Bros sponsorship was available to Bruce by the time he finished the car.
