Shakotom 7,047 Report post Posted March 7, 2019 @Geophy have a geeze on this website https://consumer.licensys.co.nz/landing maybe even give them a call and have a yarn - have to call to get motorcycle 2 line format made anyway, but I’m pretty sure two line format is for motorcycles only. You may be able to get it made in slimline format, but that would cost $$. Best bet would be to maybe see brent and see if he can make you a scaled down one for show use only etc? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bling 19,720 Report post Posted March 7, 2019 Any reason to just not put the plate in a spot like this? Worked fine on my trailer, only had to bend it back up a couple of times. Due to my own stupidity. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

75swb 10 Report post Posted March 12, 2019 Pomme question: is it legit to rip the back seats out of a wagon (e30 ideally), weld the doors up and swap glass for metal to build a van, or is that a no-go? Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roman 12,678 Report post Posted March 14, 2019 Question re: pedal boxes. I had a bit of a manlook but couldnt find any threads about it. What's legal or not legal? I think I remember seeing something about not being allowed to weld the pedals or they have to be all one piece. But what other rules are there around what you can/cant do, and what materials can be used and so on? I had a look through the cert manual thing about rules for brakes but couldnt find any specific info about pedal box construction. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sambo 1,279 Report post Posted March 15, 2019 Are there any rules regarding winding down torsion bars? I'm not wanting to go really low or anything, more just curious. Is it basically just stay above 100mm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tortron 55,418 Report post Posted March 17, 2019 any issues around using a centering ring to help mount a brake rotor with an 88mm centre hole on a hub with an 84mm centre hole? I see they are used on vws with audi big brake conversions overseas and it sounds better to me than relying entirely on the bolts also on a similar topic. Are there any requirements when it comes to redrilling the mounting holes in a brake rotor? is it legal? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yowzer 31,929 Report post Posted March 17, 2019 I believe centering rings are required, and you can't redrill from 4 to 5 stud or vice versa, but redrilling the same stud count is ok. I think. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are there any requirements when it comes to redrilling the mounting holes in a brake rotor? is it legal? definitely a good idea to use centering spacer. there was a q&a thing on the lvv website which said you couldn't redrill a 4 stud disc to 5 stud or vice versa, but have had a few brake kits approved like that where the holes were pretty close together, but then had a plate over the extra holes so the whole thing was sandwiched together a lot of the MRP brake kits come with multi drilled discs 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flyingbrick 8,523 Report post Posted March 17, 2019 I'm amazed by that- wouldn't have thought it was possible to destroy a discs integrity that much by drilling a couple of holes. Will be upset if that is my rear end fucked, ford discs re drilled to chev, multi drilled axles etc etc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KustomKreeps 808 Report post Posted March 18, 2019 hey quick question on the cert rules for roof chops. How much are you aloud to chop basically? Missus brought home a Morrie Minor split window. Wanting to make a nice lil shopping car basically but with a old custom vibe. Thinking 4 or 5 inch off the front and what ever looks good off the back. then a heap of panel work such as fade-away fenders and skirts. Sat in a 4' chop with lowered seats and was looking out mid screen (missus below middle of screen) and had heap of headspace. 11 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
