Here is the latest draft 09 regs, still to be ratified:

B3.3.14 Use of CIK homologated crash tested bodywork consisting sidepods, a front fairing and Nassau panel is mandatory and must conform to MSA technical regulations. A CIK rear protection system is not permitted. The sidepods should be a matching pair of same homologation on either side and the front fairing and nassau should also be a pair from same homologation, but those two sets of body pairs can be from different homologations. It is permitted to modify the bodywork mounting points on the chassis to accept CIK crash tested bodywork but it must be undertaken in a professional manner. Karts homologated for the period up to 2006 where they are fitted with a traditional front bumper incorporating two vertical front uprights are permitted to make use of the CIK front fairings without the CIK associated metalwork. In this case, as long as the two vertical uprights remain in place, the requirement for an aluminium or steel securing block as per MSA rule K 156 is waived and the fairing may be attached to the kart by any safe and secure method in two places, not necessarily the CIK type clips. TKM homologated karts for the period up to 2006 inclusive with old style diagonal bar fixing points may use side bumpers with a minimum of one tube with a minimum size of 18 mm diameter (19/20mm recommended) and a wall thickness of 1.4mm minimum securely fixed to the chassis by a minimum of two points on each side and must allow for the attachment of mandatory side bodywork. The plastic elements of the bodywork must be CIK crash tested and homologated as per MSA regulations but the sidepods must be of the fully enclosed type with closed ends. Sidepods may incorporate suitable holes for starter shaft, airbox trumpet, etc where MSA rules permit. When wet weather tyres are fitted, it is permitted for the wheels and tyres to be inside the sidepods, so long as the sidepods have closed solid ends.
