I imagine due to rust and possibly wrong engine. Will it now be flagged for rust and il need a repair cert? I'm going to get replacement chassis horns and seemlessly replace the whole lot if its got any rust or previous repairs it will need a repair cert at re reg time I would suggest getting a repair certifier involved from the start- its cheap compared to stripping it again later if you try to sneak it through without, and the certifier wants it done slightly differently or wants to see it before paint etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajg193 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 How much rust is acceptable around a windscreen? Surely this shouldn't have been given a wof? There is also rust the whole way along the top of the windscreen 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Lol. How do you plan on using the CGA when you already know the state of the car at time of purchase? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bling Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 VIRM should cover the rust thresholds. Must have too much spare time if you're cruising around for a war over a rusty car. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajg193 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Calm down guys.. It was all a theoretical. My main gripe is that someone would give a car a wof with those issues. At least I know where to go in the future if I have a shit car. Also, how do you know I haven't already bought that beautiful 4K trike?

Ashkellybarr Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Regarding fuel system wiring changing carb tank to EFI with in tank pumps, using a large inspection plate for pump fixings would a compression glad for cable through the plate be ok? Can’t really find much aside from this blurb, 2.3(16) An electrical system within a low volume vehicle must be designed to have electrical equipment such as pump motors and solenoids isolated from the fuel tank and system. and any other suggestions or things to watch out for with doing these mods to a tank? cheers ash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doullama Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Looking at u.s conversion vans: I see as part of entry cert they must now (from '16) be lvv certified due to the removal of bracing when installing side windows, fibreglass roof, dodgy seats & seatbelt mounts etc. Does this also apply to the many vans that are already on the road? These two are my current candidates, dodge is already lvv certed (and has 318) and ford is a heavy vehicle therefore exempt (and has 460 + uncle Rico vibe) both 14k with no bites for a while/ripe 4 beatdownz. Was just wondering as if so there must be hundreds of vans due for some wicked spendy work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxPower Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 whats the go if i had a 1980 L300 van, and had a de-reg L300 cab I wanted to put on the chassis instead? (van to cab) would that need cert as its pretty much the same? thinking it would be an easier way to make a L300 well side later on, than cutting down a van if that makes sense. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scooters Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 they are used all the time to stop vapor going into wire conduit places like underground mines and in the fuel industry. But id never get one wet with fuel they just are not that sort of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashkellybarr Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Yeah that’s why I asked. saw a photo of someone else doing it and thought it was questionable. but at the same time proper bulk head fittings are expensive and still leave exposed terminals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooters Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 can do it for sure. @Ashkellybarr Just not Plastic... at least anodized there are plenty of non speed flow style out there 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
