For Questions Regarding WOFs/CERTs/NUMBER PLATEs

It's illegal, but you could have the taper welded up, and reamed to the smaller size. 

"THOU SHALT NOT MAKE A WELD UPON ANY FORGING WHICH IS EMPLOYED IN SUSPENDING OR STEERING A MOTOR VEHICLE"

 

However, done tidily, it's impossible to prove it's been done. However depending on the metal used, it might go hard as fuck and need to be annealed before it can be reamed.

Since you're not a welder be trade @MaxPower please dont do that.  ;-P

 

And if you do please use a gasless MIG or damp welding electrodes. (With 5 pairs of sunglasses)

When certing with wheels, can you have a pair of wheels you want tested front and rear on the car or do you need a full set? Examples 15x7 (full set) 14x7 (pair) both same overall diameter and width. Certing on 15x7 and thinking about option of 14x7, but only have a pair of 14x7 rims currently.

 

Also in regards to threads protruding from brackets, does this look to be enough? Was told two threads visible for photos. I have 2.5-3mm of total bolt sticking through. Tapered bolt end, but full bracket thread is being used. Much further would impact rotor. Cheers

Sweet cheers for that, yeah from what I gather it included plates too, or at least was implied. It at least shows that thread is using all 10mm of the plate. Just waiting to find out on the above sticky outness before I can get car rolling again. Will stick with 15's in that case too.

Can you take it for a cert with no plate on it? That way they would just record the VIN number?

 

/I really don't know and can't contribute in this case but I am interested in the answer

Yep, my FD still isn't registered on NZ roads (has a VIN though) and is, touch wood, about to be certed.

Have just taken the Chevron/Lotus 7 for its first wof in ~15 years and although it went through nicely and nothing of note was picked up. they did pick up the four point harnesses and want to query land transport on monday. 

does anyone here know/have experience/know where to look in the virm for this situation? car was built in 88 and to my knowledge never had anything except a 4 point harness fitted. 

i have emailed Chevron engineering and apparently Evan is a friendly guy so i expect a response from him, but threres every chance hes gone on holidays and who knows when that response may be. 

have also messages the guy i bought it from to see if he has any historical pics but im pretty sure hes given me everything hes got. 

options seem to be;

1 Land transport say its ok and i get my wof. 

2 Land transport say it needs an authority card. - not a major i guess, but does this mean only people with a MSNZ licence can drive it on the road? be a bit of a buzzkill if i cant share the fun. 

3 I fit lap and diagonal belts for road use - happy to do this but dont want to stray into cert territory. 

4 ????? *your option here?*

5 profit

No idea on the law & there seems to be a bit of interpretation involved as well.  My first Fraser has 4 point harnesses with standard buckles & the current one has one of those for the pax & a 5 point with turnbuckle for the driver. I have never been questioned with either. That said I go to a specialist workshop not the local VTNZ. Good luck
