    I'm about to go read this all for myself, but it seems that some would disagree... :/

    + 1 on this as ^ stated.

    Connect a second or third tube to the ONE tube that attaches to the firewall & all is legal.

    Connect a second or third tube to the firewall or firewall mounting plate & your illegal.

    The usual silly SCCA cage rule BS but David is correct. Not going to turn your question into a rule thread. It has been protested in the past with extra tubes to the firewall point and it stood. ARRC 2002 if I remember correctly. Make the cage safe and go race.

    The tube could be a loop with the bent part forward and be one tube. Cage rules have more gray areas than you ever want to see me exploit.
