Seems like the SCCA rule book doesn't said much about the fender braces.
Some guys said that it's legal and others their not. Well, this what I found
at the 2011 edition National Solo rule book. The question still there...
legal or not? Thanks guys
G. Strut bars (per Section 12) are permitted with all types of suspension,
subject to the following constraints:
Lower suspension braces must be attached to the lower suspension
pickup point locations on the chassis within 2 inches (2”, 50.8 mm)
in any direction of the actual suspension attachment to the chassis.
H. Longitudinal (fore-aft) subframe connectors (“SFCs”) are permitted
with the following restrictions:
No cross-car/lateral/triangulated connections directly between the
driver’s side and passenger’s side SFCs are permitted. Connections
to OE components such as tunnel braces or closure panels
via bolts are allowed and count as the third point of attachment.
No alteration to the OE components is permitted.
J. Rollover structures:
The cage shall attach to the car at no more than 8 points, consisting
of the basic cage with 6 attachment points, and 2 additional
optional braces.
The forward part of the cage shall be mounted to the floor of the
vehicle. If used, the 2 optional braces referred to in (2) shall be
mounted, one on either side, from the forward section of the
cage to the firewall or front fender wells. No braces shall pass
through the front firewall.
E. MOUNTING PLATES:
Roll bars and braces must be attached to the frame of the car wherever
possible. Mounting plates may be used for this purpose where
desired.
