could be as simple as forming non-braided hose, whereby one 'scorches' the inside radius around a hot former........ same way coiled air-hoses are formed, and coiled shaver cords are done. thin-wall metal tube and a grunty electric paint stripper gun -
another stout option is A-series forkilft motor.... think they A13/15..... ?

don't they use linear actuators to raise / lower ?

there was a trap for event organiser's as to how the road was closed. one method gave TOTAL control to the named COC/Safety Officer etc, the other created headaches as to legalities legalities and control , if a challenge was enacted
-
de-reged 'club' cars can compete on closed road events, but may not be driven past the 'Road=Closed' signs. a rally car, competing in a proper rally event needs to be REG/WOF for the entirety of the event due to the 'touring' stages which are normal legal open roads, as opposed to the 'special' stage, which is closed to the public and under the control of the COC/Event director. 'authority card' is a dispensation allowing certain modifcation 'logbook' is a record of events entered

Class EB would throw a spanner in the mindset of the charming ignorant fool at Whaka Kartire. as far as i have been told, there are new requirements coming, to close some of the existing loopholes regarding TSLs/logbooks etc............ they created a can of worms when they down-rated vehicles , and allowed heavier weights for Class 1 drivers

or is it due to utlising the rock-chucker (grass-blade ) as a counter weight? -
what was GLW of Trader ? there is said to be a raft of new rules coming in soon regarding TSL/PSL etc that could undo a heap of small operators

gasket paper and shellac -
climb on the 3TC forum or FB page plenty good info on these engines. have not had to change ignition on mine as vehicle not used very often these days
-
once upon a time, trucks/buses/motorhomes could be 'down-rated' to meet the 6T threshold, but i believe this has been removed about same time they removed 'supplementary RUCs, for vehicles operating well under the GLW/GCW

maybe, when he bustled into dealership demanding a free replacement, the dealership rightfully added "wanker-tax" , and that was what the court managed to remove from the fee ? -

any thing built after 2005 can stay outside my ownership, unless i could afford to buy new, and on-sell with balance of warranty -
i we know the make/model, someone maybe able to tell you were to find the stamping. have an old '56 Holden ute here with plates and possible original engine, but due to having no tags/chassis number, was told i needed to do a 'paper file search' to make sure i have 2 correctidentifiers
-
my understanding is all registered vehicles still have the paper file, but does costs a pretty penny for the search. they must have updated some of it, as our Sunbeam Sport was listed as 'plate never issued' on carjam, as was re-vinned, but de-regoed a very long time ago.......... it now comes up as a un/de-registered Sunbeam Sport

glued in requires sharp knife and either fishing braid/guitar string on handles to 'saw' the rest of urethane. some thin wedges also help. prick of a job, with limited success -
you can't stretch the budget to the 16CFM unit ? 12cfm will run tools / guns etc, but at a pinch, and will need good water traps to remove condensate

they do have 'desirable dairy farm runabout' tax , though. they have wrecked nearly all the vitaras

i did wonder if he was one of us.
