Suggest that everyone looks closely at the new requirements within Appendix K as published January 2012, and take action now.
In fact the actual wording in 5.13.5 which I think the above quote refers to reads as follows:-
"Tubes through the bulkheads or attached to the body/chassis within 10cm of suspension pickup points are not permitted unless this is a period or homologated specification" (my italics and bold)
This puts a different slant on things I think.
However any compliance problems which are insurmountable are covered,
ultimately , in 5.13.5 para (g) which states:
"cars not able to fully comply with the above requirements may be granted a special dispensation subject to approval by HMSC.Confirmation of the dispensation must be appended to the car's HTP"
Anyone who gets to this stage should join the back of the queue soon.....

HMSC being absolutely nothing to do with my company.
HONEST!
