Since our (western side of the pond) vehicles don't have Tyres, Bonnets or
Boots (well the drivers have boots) and we don't work with ring wrenches
there may be a problem here. But in all seriousness, yes a car can be built
correctly from the rule book. Pictures and or a phone call can clear up any
major questions. Or our list buddy Dan W can respond by e-mail. And if he
doesn't have the answer he knows where to send you to get the answer.
Now I like JD Tones plan that SCTA should give each competitor 3 current
rule books. 1 for the jon, 1 for the night stand (read it every night
before going to sleep, it will help you sleep (yeah right)) 1 for your lunch
box (if you work) or the garage (if you don't). And 5 current copies of the
inspectors check off sheet should be strategically placed around the vehicle
in the garage where you work on it for quick reference.
