>> So that I am clear then, if it fits the definition of a bushing as it sits on the car in it's stock form, it's free as in the FWD engine mount pointed out above? ...

If I'm following, then NO. That "bushing material" clause is ...5.d.6 in the GCR. "5" is "Chassis" and "d" is "Suspension Mounting Points."

It's too much to extend that to engine mounts, which are NOT addressed (or allowed) in the ITCS and are explained under different subsections in the specs for categories in which they may be modified - even if they do meet the definition of a bushing.

Allowances sort of cascade logically through rules that take what in my business we call a "nested" structure. That's reflected in the way the rules are structured. You can't take an allowance and generalize it UP in that organization.
