MRWEST 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? I just had to provide a letter form the company that modified my ecu to say it had been modified and the check engine light function was not functional and that was ok for a cert. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I dont mind running a light from the ecu, should be easy, Unless its always on lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSM Garage Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Clint, do you charge to inspect a certain part on a car before it goes thru the cert process? To see if all is ok or should be done another way? Im unsure about the brake lines on my adjustable suspension Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unhuman Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 The VIRM states that a horn must be easily operated from the driver’s seating position.  I assume this means it is okay to have a button in the dash as opposed to on the wheel.  I wish to relocate the horn to a button in the dash due to 1) never using it and 2) having consent problems with the contact ring in the hub.  Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigmatt4 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 what would be my best option i have been told that my brake pedal has failed. got this email back from lvvta  Unfortunately this extension wasn’t granted.  From the photos submitted, Justin was able to see that the brake pedal doesn’t meet the HCTM requirements for being fail safe in the event of weld failure.  so i have to find a new certifier with 1 d qualification  my options are construct another pedal up to the requred standard or scrap the lot and fit a wilwood pedal box  which means building a bracket to hold the pedal box as well. does anyone have a copy of the hobby car manual about brake pedal construction? trying to weigh up my options Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nominal Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 In the HCTM it says the pedal has to be a single piece of material (except for pad), with any welded bosses to be fail-safe - i,e, braking is still possible if weld breaks. Â Any sort of offset system requires written approval from the TAC. Â I might have to deal with this too, unless I get a special pedal machined from a pig lump of metal (which would be $$$).

cletus Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Clint, do you charge to inspect a certain part on a car before it goes thru the cert process? To see if all is ok or should be done another way? Im unsure about the brake lines on my adjustable suspension chuck up a pic on here if you can.  otherwise yes we do charge to come and have a look, we get a lot of "can you just quickly pop in and have a look"  i usually tell people if its not structural stuff that we need to inspect before the car is put back together, ie chassis welding etc, you are better to do the proper cert inspection so you get a complete list of what you need to do, rather than me coming and having a "just quickly pop in and have a look" , telling you to do a, b, and c, then doing the full inspection, and then telling you you need to do d, e and f as well. it just ends up costing you more because of an additional visit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
