westy Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I spoke to my friend who does WOFs and he thought it would be an issue without engineer's report etc. Plus some other things I found suggested the same. Here is a photo, the red lines are a general indication of where I'd be cutting. However it won't really work anyway as the bottle outlet would probably be too close/in the chassis leg with more than in inch recess so it invalidates this whole procedure. Still keen on an answer to this tbh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Wouldnt want to say 100% without seeing it, would probably be ok if the car is pre frontal impact requirements, and its not a big cut out you can notch a chassis rail for susp clearance, i cant see why you couldnt apply the same thinking 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

66gt Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Fuck me a Coon 6 would look lost in a bike that big!! Maybe a triple engined one 3 XR6 Turbo engines, air ride.

cletus Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 +1 for this question? as far as a cert is concerned, if you do that to mount anything, it should have a crush tube if it bolts through the chassis rail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewaysickness Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Hey Clint, I know rwd chassis notches are fine but what about fwd? 2000 mk4 golf gti. It's certed for coilovers but the possibility of fitting airbags is on the cards. In Germany and 'Merica they hole saw a 40mm(ish) hole so the axels don't hit while at full slam. Do you think this could be certified here? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cletus Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 would be affecting the cars ability to crumple? this. i would imagine it would make the chassis fold under at that point if its a frontal impact compliant vehicle, i would say no go. if it wasnt i would check with LVVTA first but would think it would still not be allowed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewaysickness Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I thought that would be the case. Oh well, the golf is as low as that allows... which just isn't enough. Stink... but thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusty360 Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Hey clint I want to add a lap seat belt in between the two lap diagonals in the back my eh wagon can I just use the existing bolts for the ones that are there now? Cheers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nominal Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 I've got 3 cars that have lap belts like that and haven't had any issues getting WOF's. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 What does it have for anchorages in the back at the moment for the lap diagonal belts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I assume a check engine light for a cert doesn't need to be anything more than just a light? IE, doesn't need a label or a check engine symbol on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
