There are no provisions in the the ST rules for removing coolant hard lines or removing/substituting hood props.
Not sure what hood props have to do with coolant lines...I still have the factory hood prop installed, can I cite comfort and convenience for the addition of aftermarket hood props?
Edit: Really; we need to reign in hood props?
I have gas hood props... and gas door props! - the Jester of XPAnthony Porta wrote:you are correct seb... What class does a gas hood prop but you in? X Prepared?
re-read it "or removing/substituting hood props." They more or less did forbid you from adding one even with the existing one left behind. If your hood is propped up, and a gas strut is attached it is substituting for the factory one. By definition you would also need to raise that factory one and place it in it's proper receptacle... then you would not be substituting... but supplementing.Steve Lepper wrote:You can add them (under C&C) but heaven forbid you take that six ounce metal rod out, or it's off to Prepared you go!

So how did someone find a performance advantage in a hood prop, that they need to specify an exclusion of alteration?

Craig - someone was stupid enough to ask, and it got answered. Not a new rule - as you stated in your message above:Craig Naylor wrote:I little foreshadowing the deep sighs that would follow reading the rest of the statement.Steve Ekstrand wrote:What's with the breather tube clarification title?
KJ... label it as you wish... if the is intent to enforce the statement, it may not be by de jure, but by de facto its a new rule.
Did you really expect the STAC to say, "go ahead, even though nothing in our rules says you can?"One would think the general rule if it's not in the rule book,you can't...save comfort and convenience changes...

K.J. and Craig: It's stated as a "clarification". By definition, would that not mean that it is simply clarifying a previous intent, as opposed to a new rule? Seems it's a bit confusing since we are receiving the "clarification" out of context without the submitted comment/request that triggered the clarification and resultant bundle that is "breather tube" and "prop rods".KJ Christopher wrote:Craig - someone was stupid enough to ask, and it got answered.
