Accumulated Rulings to the rescue.

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? -

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. [John Hopler,

Right.  But AI and Spirit Fetter are already considered on the sheet.
After those two, there are 4 slots left.
