Otherwise, great work. My team is also doing 6wd DS WCD. So serviceable and utilitarian.
Is this correct? From my understanding of R31 it sounds like it is more the definition of a supported bumper. In the chassis displayed, they aren't trying to count that as a supported area but instead just not putting bumpers there. As long as they have 6 in. of support on each side, they should be fine.

Please correct me if I have a misunderstanding of this.
