All in good time... But I think we can move on from this topic for now - I reckon it'll be legal with some minor modifications...

You could go a bit different and have the brake lights in the headlamp trim ring.

Yeah seems a bit silly. Totally different designs for totally different jobs. Legality shouldn't come into it, just don't, lol.

But what if you want to make a backwards car?

Yo cleeeeetus. 

My van was certified for a wheelchair hoist which I have removed. No other mods at all. 

Can I remove the plate?

Your waka will need to be looked at by a certifier , plate removed, sent back to LVVTA who then update landata so it doesnt say its modified any more.

I took off the VIN plate to blast & electroplate my bike frame - can I just rivet it back on? cheers

The legal way to do it is take to a tsda

Get them to remove it

Do paint etc

Take back and they refit chassis number

Yep. Easier to make that legal than in the boot too

Too late now as I took it off without even thinking about it at the time - The frame number is still legible and I still have the original vin plate.

It's just hardware store pop rivets holding it on, isn't it? Most importantly, will anyone ever know and will I get hassles from wof inspectors

[kyteler]

Only if you mention it in public searchable forums...

Do you need to have reverse lights hooked up for cert/wof? 

(I did search this thread and the LVV documents - couldnt find anything specific either way. I did 'see Cletus mention you don't legally need reverse gear (you probably should!?) but if do have the gear and not the corresponding illumination - fail or all good?)

Reverse lights are not needed for a wof

Is it one of those if they are there, they have to work things?  Like a spare wheel, if it's there, it has to be bolted down.

They don’t have to work, but can’t have a hole in the lens or a stuffed reflector

Interesting, it used to be that if it were there, it had to work (wife got failed on it years ago) but obviously changed now.
