cletus Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Have not heard anything. There was talk about it from repair certifiers ages ago due to the risk of damaging pedestrians if a vehicle was designed with anti pedestrian damaging features in the bonnet. But we haven't been told anything recently 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bling Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I thought you could remove the rear seats and belts in this situation? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mof Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I read that as keeping the back seats and making it hard to get to them 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rookie Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 FYI Retep's escort has fixed back bucket seats on a fancy mount that tilts the whole seat forward, so it is definitely doable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R100 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Any of you fullas been down the route of motorcycle certification in regards to building a custom hard tail ? Bike in mind is a 2016 Royal Enfield 500. Im talking about chopping off the rear section to fabricate a hard tail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transom Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Run some solid struts for a week instead of the rear shocks Then see if you still wanna cut it Hard tail with sprung seat and fat 16" rear tyre with not much pressure and my kidneys still hate me decades later Sure it can be certed if done well There may even be off the shelf hard tail frames for that engine somewhere 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattt Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 On a car thats factory fitted with twin round headlights (old BMW for eg) is it legal/wofable/certifiable to remove the inner headlight on one side provided that the remaining headlight has both functions of high and low beam?

flyingbrick Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Could you just make the opposite lamp purely decorative and convert the two remaining lenses to hi/lo beam units. Then atleast functionally it's symetrical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 you could, may result in arguements with wof jokers or cops over wording in the VIRM over what is considered a headlamp i did cert a ex japan fire truck last month that they didnt want to remove the flashing light off the roof, so they removed the bulbs and i put on the plate it had a ''light cover'' on the roof 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
