2021-01-01 - Roll Cage to Body Welds

Q.
My roll cage contacts my car's body in several locations. Especially along the sill plate (pictured). Is there any issue with stitch welding the cage to the car in these locations or would it be in violation of 3.2.11, exceeding the 8 allowed mounting points?
Sill Bar Stitch Weld Example

A.
You may weld the roll cage tube to the body where it touches the car. Zero points.
