Re: Al's 2016 Inspection Thread
It's been 8" for a long time.
The other point trying to be made is that there is no configuration of a 16" or shorter side that doesn't require the entire side to be covered. It is the logical consequence of 8"from each corner needing covering. Another way to say it is that all frame sides greater than 16" require at least 16" of total bumper on that side in addition to the 8" from each corner.
The wording of the rule for "sides less than 8"" could also be written "sides less than 16"" without changing any actual bumper requirements.
