Right. Thats what I thought (and I was prepared to make bushings for the existing old links), until I read the rules to be certain that I could even do that (which, obviously, I can). However, after reading the rules, it looks very much to me that I can use the poor wording of the rule to my advantage. [/b]
IMHO, this is a tortured interpretation. Traction bars are designed to work longitudinally, and see Jake's question on RWD cars (and tie-rods). Understand that once something like this comes up, be VERY prepared to have the rule clarified out-from-under you. Don't invest too much money in your solution because it will soon be illegal.
