So far, in the absence of a ruling to the contrary, if an old-style Tiagene van door motor were shipped to any team this year, I'd tend to consider that motor fair game for all.

It's quite safe to assume that they don't want to do this. Like the F-Ps, they seem to have accidentally obtained a mixed lot, without correct specifications.

A point for the team forums, when they arrive, later in the year: let's make sure that any kit motor or significant component is accompanied by a model number and corresponding specification document, and that these are checked in advance for accuracy.
