IHRA answers this part for 29 of its classes. 17 of those answers permit the part outright and 9 permit it with stated conditions, leaving 3 that do not. 3 of the ones that do not are classes we read as open rather than as refusing it. 3 are inferred from how the class is written rather than quoted from a rule naming this part.
This is one body's answer, not the sport's. You are bound
by whichever body sanctions the event you enter. If you race more than one
series, build to the stricter answer. The differences are set out in
the rulebook comparison.
29 classes, grouped where the same rule gives the same
answer rather than listed one by one, because an answer that holds for a class usually holds for every class
that borrows its rules.
Keep it, but measure it: the rules permit this part only inside stated limits.
Legal
Keep it. The rules permit this part in this class.
No rule, this is an open class
Probably keep it. The class carries no stock clause at all, so anything unlisted appears to be open. The rulebook does not say so in terms, and this is our reading rather than a permission anybody wrote down.

differently to you, or the rulebook has changed since this was read, ask.
