OK, I read the rules but still would like some clarification and/or
assurance.  The situation is this, regular camber plates require that we
grind down the shock shaft to .624 to fit the bearing; however adjustable
plates fit the shock great.  The 'problem' is that the strut tower center
hole must be enlarged to accomplish the installation.  A definite no no in
SP, but this car is AP.  The way we have read rule(s) 15.n is that just
about anything is legal when you begin with struts.  We aren't moving the
mount point, just making the center hole larger and different to allow the
use of the caster/camber plate.

What's the true scoop?  I'm in the barn waiting to change direction one more
time. ;p
  This part of the process has been a real pain in the build and should have
been the easiest!  We should have the car running for the Nov. 21st run, but
not the 14th at TAMU, darn again!

Todd, you will just have to take an extra run for me ;-)
