I've seen copies of a couple of 8000-38s. There are extra spaces on the
form where you can add tasks to the lists. And, I've seen where
builders have struck out a few of the listed tasks and written in "N/A"
for "Not Applicable."

Judicious application of these two practices (and reasonable
justification for them), combined with careful naming of the kit parts
by the manufacturer, can be used to demonstrate "51%" compliance on the
8000-38.
