Can I use 914-6 5 lug hubs, wheels rotors, etc?

What are the differences in the 914-6 Caliper and the M- Calipers?

Can I leave the engine lid out and build a tray for the carbs?

What about Scoops mounted in the rear window?

Can I leave out body plugs to feed air to the oil coolers?

Can holes be cut behind the Fog light mounts to feed brake ducts or oil coolers?

Do I have to use the Ginther style windscreen?

Can I use multiple tubing sizes in the cage as long as I follow the GCR for the main hoops and side bars?

Can I go to full Glass fenders and Quarters?

How do you guys do the doors? Can you still open them or weld them shut, etc?

Does air have to be fed through the dryer duct for the engine cooling or can I pull air from the open cockpit area?

Can I put a fairing over the passenger side?

I guess I'm not familiar with the GT engine lid.

The rules say "the hood, hatchback and deck lid may be replaced with components of an alternate material." So, I'd say you have to stick with the stock engine lid, but I guess one could debate that the engine lid is a deck lid, but I don't think that's the intent of this rule.

Word of warning on the low front hoop, full width main hoop.... Unless you're really short, plan on using some kind of layback seat, not a FIA approved seat. I bought a beautiful FIA-approved seat, but couldn't get it low enough to keep the main hoop anyway near the targa bar. So, I had to go with a Kirkey layback seat and I laid it back much further than the 20 degrees that's build in. I had to cut the wings off of it so I could steer. Now, there's not enough side bolstering and I'm bracing myself with the steering wheel. I'll fix it, but I just wanted to warn you on that.
