Re: Question for rule [R02]

Rubber flaps would work nicely. Similar affect, with a nice contiguous finish.

Re: Question for rule [R02]

Guys,
The defining answer is...
A: If multiple items exit the Frame Perimeter and are not contiguous outside the Frame Perimeter, they are considered multiple appendages.

That defines it that what has been pictured is multiple appendages. It doesn't take much thought though, to add a string that links all tips of the tubing together making this two appendages. Only one of which would exit that Frame Perimeter at a time making the illegal, legal.

I disagree, but I think it's technically up to the individual inspectors at this point.
Dictionary.com states contiguous is

touching; in contact, or
in close proximity without actually touching; near.


So, since the tubing is all near each other, you should, technically, be contiguous. As to the string idea, if you do that, you might as well, make it rubber flaps, because stringed-up surgical tubing just looks silly. And flaps would probably be more effective, as well.

Nah, that doesn't sound as good.

Re: Question for rule [R02]

Nik,
Please look just to the right of my picture.
The picture does not show tubing that is in close proximity. In this case, "near" is not "contiguous" but string or other flexible binding that ties all ends together is contiguous.
