Rick,
While common sense here should apply, sometimes things are overlooked by focusing on too minute detail.
Since you are a fair ways from Kennedy and Davies, your comfort level should be un-easy.
You can contact them, in the rulebook listings, send pictures, diagrams and such.
When you have a "go nod", print and or bring documentation in the LOG book for the car.
The inspectors will question something out of the ordinary, having an endorsement eases the situation.
If something is found questionable, Steve and Lee are around at the events to approve or dis-approve.
Believe it or not, they are there to make sure you can run safely, not just to send you home.
Remember this, the rulebook (safety portion) is a MINIMUM guide line for construction of YOUR vehicle.
The Inspectors are just looking for this, Record Certification is looking for compliance within the Class/Type vehicle.
