Howdy,

I searched, but didn't see the answers to all of these questions.

First really basic one... the book says:

Cars may add one (1) front stayrod, located in one of the
following areas:
[...]
B. Between the upper strut towers on Mac-Pherson strut
equipped cars.
I should read this as one total, or one at the front and one at the rear? I wasn't sure if the point was to force someone to reinforce the top or bottom at each end of the car, or to only have one brace total on the car.

Second... No prohibition on welding here, right? So I can weld on a roll-cage-like landing pad to the side near the top of the strut tower, make a machined connector thing that welds to that, and have a 'stayrod' bolted to it?

Third... What's a "stayrod"? The book says:
A rigid reinforcement bar or rod interconnecting opposite sides
of a car at structurally significant locations.
Is a piece of 1x6 rectangular tubing a bar or rod? How about if I put lightening holes in it? How about if its really two pieces of 1x1 tubing with a gusset between them? None of those is what I'd normally call a 'bar or rod', but lots and lots of strut tower braces I've seen look like that.

Appreciate the help!
