For Questions Regarding WOFs/CERTs/NUMBER PLATEs

[Rhyscar]

Thanks @cletus much appreciated!

How much rust is acceptable around a windscreen? Surely this shouldn't have been given a wof? There is also rust the whole way along the top of the windscreen

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Yowzer]

Lol. How do you plan on using the CGA when you already know the state of the car at time of purchase?

[ajg193]

nvm

[kicker]

Sounds like a well thought out way to buy a car

 

[Bling]

VIRM should cover the rust thresholds. Must have too much spare time if you're cruising around for a war over a rusty car. 

[Yowzer]

Just buy this and be done

[ajg193]

Calm down guys.. It was all a theoretical.

 My main gripe is that someone would give a car a wof with those issues. At least I know where to go in the future if I have a shit car.

 

Also, how do you know I haven't already bought that beautiful 4K trike?

[Yowzer]

Not sure why you're telling us to calm down when called out on a dick move, but ok you do you.

[scooters]

mate..... @ajg193

just pull the windscreen out do what you gotta do. You wont get sympathy from us.. my 260c was probs rusty on it's first WOF.

your trike is 100% bitchin but..

Regarding fuel system wiring

changing carb tank to EFI with in tank pumps, using a large inspection plate for pump fixings

would a compression glad for cable through the plate be ok?

Can’t really find much aside from this blurb,

  2.3(16)
An electrical system within a low volume vehicle must be designed to have electrical equipment such as pump motors and solenoids isolated from the fuel
 tank and system.

and any other suggestions or things to watch out for with doing these mods to a tank?

 

cheers

Looking at u.s conversion vans: I see as part of entry cert they must now (from '16) be lvv certified due to the removal of bracing when installing side windows, fibreglass roof, dodgy seats & seatbelt mounts etc. Does this also apply to the many vans that are already on the road? These two are my current candidates, dodge is already lvv certed (and has 318) and ford is a heavy vehicle therefore exempt (and has 460 + uncle Rico vibe) both 14k with no bites for a while/ripe 4 beatdownz. Was just wondering as if so there must be hundreds of vans due for some wicked spendy work

[MaxPower]

whats the go if i had a 1980 L300 van, and had a de-reg L300 cab I wanted to put on the chassis instead? (van to cab) would that need cert as its pretty much the same? thinking it would be an easier way to make a L300 well side later on, than cutting down a van if that makes sense. cheers

I doubt this gland would be rated for fuel

[scooters]

they are used all the time to stop vapor going into wire  conduit places like underground mines and in the fuel industry. 

But id never get one wet with fuel they just are not that sort of thing. 

[Ashkellybarr]

Yeah that’s why I asked.

saw a photo of someone else doing it and thought it was questionable.

but at the same time proper bulk head fittings are expensive and still leave exposed terminals

[scooters]

can do it for sure. @Ashkellybarr

Just not Plastic... at least anodized there are plenty of non speed flow style out there

That’s pretty much exactly what I was thinking!

Do I need to go through any design approval processes or crack testing to make my Toyota mark ii gx61 IRS rear subframe camber adjustable - similar to this method- they are toe adjustable on the inner trailing arm mount but not camber adjustable on the outer so it's just replicating what's already there but making it stronger
