Red Tera,
I do not know what your rules or laws are, but maybe do the modification as lambolp400s proposes, and then go to a different "pit" to see if there equipment is more in your favor? I know that people in California have sometimes done that. They do not like the way one person interprets the law, so rather than fight with them, go to a different city to get another ruling from another testing facility; of course without telling what they are doing.......
Later,
Mark
