The rule about bracing of butt welded suspension mountings on competition vehicles, strikes me as an eminent application of common sense. I will be very interested to hear what your friendly scrutineer has to say.
Scrutineers often have their own pet foibles. Wilson
They certainly do Wilson! Not a scrutineer, but at yesterday's corporate/club day (VHRA) I asked one of our CoC who holds both ACU and MSA (sorry MUK now) and his answer was simple - if constructed as a competition car then it would need the additional bracing you mention. As it's a road going car, running in a road going class, then the present butt weld is sufficient, but the car must have a current MoT / be road legal. Won't meet up with a friendly scrutineer until the Midland championship meet in a couple of weeks time.
