I do. Probably all 3.
from Webster's:
Mechanism: a mechanical contrivance; structure of a machine.
to me, the section of "mechanism" can only apply to something like the sunroof as opposed to the carpet. "operating" pretty much speaks to "mechanisms" imho.
to me, "attaching" would be hardware and brackets.
"insulating" might have a far flung hope of applying because the wires are indeed insulated.
tnord, sorry to be playing the "safety" card but it was SCCA that taught me that with the periodic replacement of belts, etc.
if the consensus on the forum is wiring can be removed if the device to which the device was attached can be removed, so be it. but why not have a clear rule set to begin with.
on second thought, i think i'll pull my washer bottle as well and put 3M windoweld in my motor mounts since most here think that those rules are BS as well.
besides, the wires that i can pull because they were "attached" to the dome light are attached to the wire harness that is attached to my washer bottle, ergo, i can pull the washer bottle, right?
