We've constructed our rear wing to the maximum allowable width for F1000. In checking some other wings we'd gotten (to reverse engineer), they're about a half inch inside the max. That is, the end plates are well inside the mandated width.
Which bothered us. Do the scrutineers consider things like bolts that hold the wing elements into the end-plates as part of the end plate in terms of the bolts also having to be inside the mandated width? Our bolts stick out -- exactly the amount of a 1/4" bolt head. Does this put us in violation of the rule-book? Our end-plates are inside the max width. But the bolt-heads are not.
Thanks!
