Jeffs_Emporium Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Do I need to go through any design approval processes or crack testing to make my Toyota mark ii gx61 IRS rear subframe camber adjustable - similar to this method- they are toe adjustable on the inner trailing arm mount but not camber adjustable on the outer so it's just replicating what's already there but making it stronger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Is you vehicle already certified? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffs_Emporium Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Negative. Trying to organize it to put it through but the standard rear subframe are not camber adjustable so I have about 5 degrees negative camber at desired height Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crustywhip Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I didn't with my x71 doing the same mod to the subframe and certed fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 If I was to buy some old banded steel wheels to go on a car getting certified, what if any paperwork would I need. Assuming they are within the limit for width increase, the band is the correct thickness, it runs true, and the welds are (visually inspected at least) good. Is seeing them bare metal sufficient or do they need a runout/crack testing piece of paper? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 What happens if you buy a vehicle that’s on an old declaration type cert, has rego on hold, but they don’t have the old declaration letter thing anymore? recert? Or are there records kept somewhere? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(it relied on the person filling out the declaration to send it into the MoT back in the day) Does it still have live rego? If it does then send me the rego number tomorrow and I'll look to see if we have a copy on file. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Anything you use in a fuel related application has to be designed for that purpose. The rule book doesn't really mention much about internally mounted pumps and wiring apart from this 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Yeah those are a bit of a cock up There was lots that got complied that should have been certified first for the mods 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Visual inspection by the certifier with tyes off is the requirement, any doubt and they have to be NDT'd 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(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 Yes it would require cert.

Kimjon Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 It's not like I intend to drive it in the rain, but just checking if pre 92 vehicles need a windscreen washer/squirter bottle? I found this, and that how I read it: I'm having a bit of a dumb night where I'm struggling with written English. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nominal Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 In my experience, if they are fitted they have to work. If they are not fitted (i.e. completely removed) it's OK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corbie Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 iirc pre 1992 if the nozzles are there, they have to work, if there are no nozzles then no problems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooters Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 if not nozzles and wipers..... rain-x my good man. if it's good enough for aircraft then it's overkill for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimjon Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 It's got some shit attempt at crudely fitting some squirters, a real home job. And a jappa tank from a wrecking yard hooked to that. Better off without it I think. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
