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.
The 75-degree minimum pole movement is a UIM-only requirement with no IJSBA equivalent. A pole or bracket that limits travel below 75 degrees fails UIM tech even if it is fine under IJSBA.
17 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.
5 of them borrow another class’s rules and are marked below; for those, the link to the parent class is read from the categories table rather than stated in the rulebook. 8 publish no rule for this part and name no parent to borrow one from, and are grouped together at the end.
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 published for this class
Unanswerable here. This class publishes no rule for the part and names no parent class to borrow one from, which is an absence in the rulebook and not a permission.

The pole and its mounting bracket may be modified or aftermarket if they work as originally designed, the attaching point may be reinforced and the spring changed, and the pole must sit in front of the engine compartment with at least 75 degrees of movement.
Handle pole and mounting bracket may be modified or aftermarket provided they function as originally designed. The attaching point may be reinforced. The spring may be modified or aftermarket. 501.01.02.09/.10
No component rules are published for this class and no single parent class is named, so this part cannot be answered for it. That is an absence in the rulebook, not a permission.
Aftermarket handle pole and mounting bracket: if the rule your class applies reads
differently to you, or the rulebook has changed since this was read, ask.
We answer with the section we read it from, or that we have not read it.
