I'm sure they will clarify it. Problem is how do you add something that can be measured? From experience calling OEM manufacturers in past years, they don't usually supply things like measured, well documented Peak Power, Stall Torque, etc.

I read the rule as select automotive motors are legal and the select motors are any window, door, wiper, seat or throttle motor with no restrictions other than it originally being used for one of those functions. I think the intention is to prevent high power motors such as a starter motor from qualifying.

I do not read it as only select versions of window, door, wiper, seat or throttle motors will be legal.

Of course I may be wrong.
