I've looked in the GCR but did not delve too deep to see if this question is addressed...

Can a component serve two purposes and be compliant? Specifically, the IT rules allow for an engine stay-rod. The rule set also allows for a single suspension re-inforcement, e.g., a strut bar linking the top of the shock mounts on a MacPherson strut type suspension. Can the strut bar also serve as a locating device for the engine (i.e, an engine stay-rod)?

TIA.
