Thanks for that. When I was sparkying up the car factory, we were only allowed to drill the steel supports/rsj's if we tapped them and fitted a bolt. That was considered replacing the steel and not considered as weakening the support.

As its subjective, and scrutineers have the final word on race day, it's not worth chancing it.

Ally to steel? I guess that'll be a clamp then.
