 From the accumulated rulings. . .

Cyborgs: Torso Mounts
Q)      How many mounts does a torso replacement have?  Most text 
descriptions I can find say 10, but the chart says 9. - toadpooka
A)      The numbers on the Mount Table on page 83 are adjusted to reflect 
the number of mounts left after required equipment. A torso has 8 mounts, 
and a replacement has 10, after adjusting for a two_mount SRU, the numbers 
on the table should actually be 6 and 8. [John Hopler, HoE listserv, 9/3/99]
Q)      The Mount Location Chart lists mounts for a "replacement head," but 
no such system is available.  Are these mounts for a Cyber Skull, or is 
there a replacement head simliar to the replacement limbs that's not 
listed? - toadpooka
A)      All of the listings for replacement parts refer to the cyber 
version of the part. So, yes, the replacement head is the cyber skull.
