Mid plate vs. no midplate

On a similar topic....

"All motor plates, mid-plates, etc. must be separate from and may not be attached to the firewall."

Can the mid-plate be bolted to tabs on the front of the chassis and firewall be welded to the outside?

The mid-plate can only be part or integral to the firewall in Comp Super Modified class.

For Super Stock class, the firewall and mid-plate must be separate pieces.

Does anyone have pictures of a legal firewall in FWD converted modified they wouldn't mind sharing?

Wasn't aware you can fab a complete firewall on a FWD GT car. Thought part of the OEM piece needed to be intact.

in my opinion I would e-mail the drawings to the tech department at nhra, or your div. tech director. to get an approval, and save or print the e mails. so if down the road there is a problem, you have some correspondence to show.
