Bruce that sounds about right!
One has to ask why the MSA have suddenly looked at this issue, when cars have been scrutineered over and over again without issue.
I cannot see an easy fix, except welding a plate on the outside of the car under each mounting, but I am not sure if that will comply.
The bulletin form the MSA to scrutineers has not told them what would be an acceptable solution.
Most welded in cages will have been fitted as the car is being built and there is no easy fix as far as I can see.
Some competitors I know are already talking about jacking it in. More bureaucracy and more cost to the competitor.
Then there is the fire extinguishers............!
I believe this will affect most race and rally competitors with welded in cages.
