Steering Arm routine bring up

[Steve Jones]

I always present my car for scrutineering with the steering arm clean and polished, but there is no requirement to do so. I've been competing for almost 40 years and I'm not aware of a scrutineer ever having looked at my steering arm.

The steering arms on my Trials Chummy and my Ulster used for Hillclimbs and Sprints are both repro items from David Cochrane but a scrutineer wouldn't know that. Both are painted and I've never known them to be specifically inspected despite both cars having been scrutineered many, many times. I've never seen steering arms on other Sevens being specifically inspected either. Maybe the specific inspection is a 750MC thing? I've never competed at any of their events.
