danger Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 The cert on my truck covers the raised suspension. Does this cover the shock mount modifications and steering arm shortening that has taken place when the suspension was raised? Also where do you measure from to check the height against the cert height? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cletus Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 welding cast or forged suspension or steering parts cant be done full stop, tig, mig, arc, hot glue gun, doesnt matter. looking at those pics, are you sure they are a cast arm? i couldnt see 100% from those, i googled mk2 cortina lower arm and it came up with a cast arm that looks different to the pics, more like an escort one. and i seem to have some fuzzy memory of some early ford arms being made of steel welded together that look kinda like the pics of the anglia ones. id be surprised if a certifier hadnt picked that up, as there is a bit going on at the moment with BC struts that have cast bits welded to mild steel, that we have had infosheets on, and training sessions about it all.

Thanks in advance. plates have become a lot more "descriptive" lately, depends on what the certifier put on the plate order form. it should really be on there, steering mods should definitely be on there, your diff had been moved foward as well hasnt it? and joker is right, center of hub- guard lip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danger Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Yeah diff moved forward. I have no idea what the current lift is so will have a measure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datto_610 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 fine thread would be better but there isnt a rule saying it has to be. exhaust will be ok as long as you can keep it from rattling in that hole. decent mounts should stop it. you and Bart doing those rear camber adjusters? Thanks for fast reply, yeah Bart's helping with the rear camber adjusters should have it all finished soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0R10N Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Looking at a vehicle which has been registered wrongly in the LTSA database (it's a limited edition that's been misregistered as another limited edition of the same model) - can it be corrected at all? What sort of supporting documentation would I need? thinking of contacting vehicle manufacturer with chassis code, etc. LVV cert would also need changed. sorry if not exactly relevant to thread, but this is probably the best place to ask.

JoKer Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 ring ltsa, ask? as mentioned is relevant to my interests (also my GTB is rego'd as a plain GT urgh) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0R10N Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 ring ltsa, ask? as mentioned is relevant to my interests (also my GTB is rego'd as a plain GT urgh) LTSA drone said it wasn't possible, but anecdotal evidence says otherwise hence my question. also, yes, collector's car. Better to have it all down on paper correctly, and have no ambiguity or doubt as to what it is. And was kinda hoping someone like Clint may have seen it happen before in his line of werk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I can understand the mentality behind it - if I had the money to own a GTHO Phase 3 I sure as hell would rather it was registered at a GTHO Phase 3 rather than just a Falcon GT.

Raizer Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I was told at AA and LTNZ that I would have had to deregister my old Subaru, then ask if the name could be changed when it was revinned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most MR16 forms need to be sent with supporting documentation to prove that the information recorded on the MVR is incorrect i.e. if the vehicle model is recorded incorrectly we would require documents from the manufacturer to prove this before a change would be made. as far as the cert plate, i could get you another one made for a reasonable cost with the correct details Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
