The point made above is that fastener heads which are above or below (this year that is going to mostly mean above) the Bumper Zone might not be able to intrude into the Frame Perimeter. Something for Q&A, but to be safe it is best to design under the assumption that you can't have any bolt heads outside the Frame Perimeter outside of the Bumper Zone.
I REALLY hope that this year they are less cryptic in their responses on Q&A. I do not usually complain about these things, but last year's replies to questions about bolt heads increased, rather than decreased, the confusion. So much so that even inspectors at competitions were not sure of the rules.
