I think the bearing pulley is 100% legal. I think "alternate" pulleys means you can put a bearing inside the pulley if you want, and technically even that meets Andy's limitation on the "free" pulley rule to different diameter and material as you just say the bearing is different "material."

On the lines, I'm not saying they are can be like the "air" bushings on the rear suspension of an RX7, as i understand the "trick" it is to put a restrictor in the line that effectively renders the system useless.

Do people add coolers to the power steering lines? If so, I don't see how the restrictor is really any different.....

Still, this "feels" like creep and I'm only strongly advocating one side to hash this one out.
