SiRge Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Can confirm it's the only method that looks legit that I've seen. Have seen lots of retards do angle iron bullshit in the states, those brackets look half decent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ul9601 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 what do people do with seat belt pre-tensioners when putting aftermarket seats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Depends on the car, some are on the buckle end, some are in the retractor, but either way still has to function 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dudley Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 With cracktesting of welded struts. Do I need to get the forms for what kind of testing they need to do from the cert guy or will the crack testing man provide the right forms? Will the cert guy need a way of identifying the struts afterwards because once cert is booked in they will obviously be painted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 @Dudley the certifier will give you the form you need, called the F008, take it to the test lab with the struts. Ask the certifier, what he would like to see around identifying the struts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudley Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Is there a place online I can get the form? Don't really want to use the whangarei certifier. So plan to get them tested with a form and find a certifier in auckland or Hamilton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Certifier fills in parts of the form as required, so even if you can download it, that won't work. Speak to the certifier you wish to use and go from there, much easier if you get them on board before you do anything. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could just take the parts to an NDT lab and ask them to crack test them, but without the form they won't know what result the certifier is looking for and you may have to redo it if it is wrong, so it is better if the certifier gives you this form and it is done right the first time. Without the form is like asking a builder to build a garden shed without any idea of where and how the customer wants it built. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudley Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Yup talked to the local certifier again and he was alit more helpful this time. Have dorm and they have passed crack testing so @kpr must know what he's doing with the ol tig welder....... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ul9601 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 probably too late for you as it's agains the record but can you just wind the window right down and pull fuse - window winder operation is not wof requirement, is it? anyway, do they have some sort of measuring device to check VLT?

Casper Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 If it's there it has to work. I've pulled a window out cause wof guy moaned it didn't go down. Got the wof when I went back. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ul9601 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 that sounds bogus man but maybe easier to pull it out than argue about it. it's like the time my car got failed for "excessive" emergency foot brake pedal travel. it didn't matter that it was within the manufacturer's specification. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllTorque Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 A window does not need to go down for a wof. It does need to have a safety standard on it, so it needs to be up to be checked. A station wagon can have 35% tints max. If there are no back seats it becomes a goods vehicle and then can have dark tints on the rear windows. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
