Re: Reusing Old Parts

If all it is is something like the end plate from the KOP chassis and it was just cut shorter, then it is within the rules. If you drilled out some holes or added new ones, then you can't use that part of the piece.

One question I have is: what if you drilled a hole last year, but you drill out that hole larger this year? Would it be legal because you aren't using the hole from last year or is it illegal because the old hole helped you find where to drill the new hole? I'm leaning towards the latter but I'm not sure.
