they are supposed to have the E marking on them (or equivalent). its in the entry cert paperwork if you are looking for it. china will put an e on anything you want, and i recall a wof doesnt need the e you can of course put some big ugly definately road legal gn125 lamp ziptied on for the inspection and then remove after for a small one, i did something like that for DR200 For motorcycle (Class L) this is apparently only required if built after 1st jan 2006, for brakes. Indicators are 1996. Also only needs to be shown to.comply however that is, but just easier to put modern complying ones on for thr inspection tbh

yeah spot weld cutter, a sharp putty knife, theres sometimes a bitnof brass in the corners. you just work around without forcing anything, give the flanges a hitnwith a sander to bring up where th3 spot welds are, use the puttyknife to slide along and find any hidden ones, can also use it to sperate any welds you didnt quite get with the drillbit/spot weld cutter. i dismantled my whole ute tray like that because similarly it was all.rusted along one seam. all the panels came off usable again also did the sills, but they had been apprenticed and brazed all over, but was replacing them, oh and everybothet panel because mitsi

everyone seemed to agree that they ran it out of the box and should have put oil in it rather than trust what ever was in or not in it

i used to put filters with a spot for lock wire on them on my bike, you might like one cos racecar you might also just get the threaded part made up in a lathe to a tighter fit, rather than change the whole setup
