Yep... agree entirely, but, and this is the point I can't quite get, by attaching the bar to the hinge/s and the latch you would be at risk of damaging them if the intrusion bar was impacted. As the hinges and latch are a separate ADR (to which my car already complies) to the side intrusion ADR then the intrusion bar should not function so as to inhibit the performance of the hinges and latch - that seems to be the way the rules read. I'm not saying I agree with it just that is how they read.
The RTA advised to go with your idea and if my engineer agrees I'll get it in writing from the RTA and move on to my next anxiety attack. Thanks all.
