Don't need to protest.

Just write a letter asking for a new rule to allow putting a bearing in the P/S pulley.

Answer will tell you what you need to know.

No, if you mean that will answer the previous legality issues. it won't.
Only way to know is through the appeals process.

And the Appeals board shouldn't ask the ITAC what they think the 'intent' is, because THIS ITAC didn't write that rule, and I guarantee you there is no documentation, other than what we all read that will hint at intent. The Appeals board should read the words, as written, and make the call.

I contend that there is no provision in the rules to remove all power from the pump, only a provision to underdrive it.

Which is an extraordinarily fine line (although I think I agree with you), and one that has no real practical effect since so long as my "bearing pulley" just slightly turns the pump shaft, then I'm legal.

No doubt. And we will start buying them.
