This is not being anal at all; it's called "reading the rules" . I am
constantly amazed at how many people don't do it. Congratulations
not only reading them but asking good questions.
My only input is on the "cage-thru-firewall" issue. If in doubt, run the
tubes on either side of the firewall directly at each other and weld each of
them to the firewall with a load plate (1/8" ?). This would work as well as
a full length tube and doesn't "modify" the firewall. Granted, this is a PITA,
but if the rules don't allow the easy way out it might be an alternative.
