However, the Q&A has clearly clarified that not anything counts as a structural frame member. I would consider an 1/8" aluminum plate slightly more than "a small piece of something", yet the GDC has said that it is not structural [enough] and does not fulfill the intent of the rule. For those teams that typically build a west-coast drive, it is certainly worth worrying about.
