For Questions Regarding WOFs/CERTs/NUMBER PLATEs

Noob question on CoFs: Working on a friends camper, and we've gutted it. Can we CoF it with no interior, and then do the camper related stuff later? Figure it's better/easier doing that while empty and repairable. From what I picked up on the Civil-ian thread that's the way to go.

Has to have bed table and cooker to reg as mobile home 

easy enough to throw in even if the interior is gutted

Hold that thought that may have been cos I was doing rereg from scratch - never ever had them even look in interior for any other cof

We get Hilux's and Bounty's in at work all the time with them failed, it's amazing how happily they lock the rears with even the lightest of brake pressure. Scary as fuck in the wet haha

Good to know. I’ll unbolt the arm and take it for a drive first to see what it’s like

[Mr Vapour]

trailer question. 

brake line down the inside of  draw bar or p clip every 300mm. 

tha is in advance 

[Yowzer]

It's a trailer, no one gives a fuck tbh.

Just shove it inside the rails.

[Yowzer]

As long as the brakes work it'll be fine, you could even cable tie the pipe on if you felt like it. Trailer WoFs really only care about wheel bearings, tyres, lights, and structural integrity.

They'd probably accept garden hose going by the trailers I see on the road. Perhaps just sleeve it in some electrical duct so it can't rub?

[Mof]

P clip it inside the a-frame.

Much easier to fix when it gets whacked and broken off at the master cylinder 

[M.H.]

I put a rubber hose from the master cylinder to the hard line. No more broken off brake lines

[Get it done]

Cm trailers do a side mount brake line Master cylinder that will eliminate 90% of crushed line during loading and unloading, especially relevant when using a mini digger as the diper arm with clean up bucket attached sits on the drawbar.

One at work got failed for no sleeve in the hole as it went inside the draw bar

also another ones line is run along the front of the axle to the other brake and it was failed for being all rusty (from stones flicking up etc) 

they replaced it with new line still along the front

I'm thinking about sleeving it in garden hose inside the draw bar.

Problem with running down the inside of the draw bar is it's another hole to let in water. Not an issue if the trailer is hot dip galvanized.

These are my lower control arms for the front suspension on the Morris. They were pro-built but quite a long time ago.

These are upside down, the mount hangs below the arm when on the car.

Will the lower shock mounts need a plate joining each side, like I've professionally drawn on the back one? If so, I'll put them on before getting them ND tested.

I don't think it would make much of a difference myself, but no reason why you couldn't add it if you want

the lower coilover bolt and crush tube holds the 2 plates together, and the part that wants to 'tear off' is at the other end of where an extra weld would be for the added plate.

 

have you done a design approval for the front end?

Not yet, waiting for my son to do the drawings (a multi-year process  )

It was built by Graham Berry's and patterned on the Locost design with Cortina uprights so I don't expect any major issues (hopefully....)

I've thrashed the car around a dirt track on a dairy paddock and nothing broke, but I'll probably add the extra plates anyway as it's easiest to do it now.

Is the design approval a knights of the round table discussion? 

Where by all the LVV guys all get together and decide if they are happy with the idea placed in front of them ?

Technical Advisory Committee, but yes.

Wow ok real banging heads stuff. looks like a lot of that could be just supplying the data. Would not surprise me if there is a program that they punch it into and out spits go, no go based on measurement given. ?

nope, that sort of modelling would take way too long and require too much validation to be worthwhile. I'd assume they'd run some basic stress calculations at key areas (decrease allowable stress for fatigue/welds etc, apply huge safety factor) and then get a yes/no.
