For Questions Regarding WOFs/CERTs/NUMBER PLATEs

0-100 and stop + repeat brake test

 

so probably

[Bling]

Yeah basically needs to pass the brake test they use. Would totally depend on the car too, some would barely pass, potentially even fail that test with OG brakes, others will ace it. 

[cletus]

Yeah depends on the car. 

Most things that have a vented disc on the front at least, can be prepped to pass the 5 stop test ok

If it's got drums or solid discs or the brakes are tiny or the car is heavy- probably not

It's the hunter, solid discs, no booster = average at best. 

Id like to upgrade to atleast escort calipers with spacer kit and capri vented discs

The Hunter came out with a Lockheed Hydrovac brake booster from new?

Possibly???? 

It has had the remote servo/booster removed at some point. Its just quadricep gains all day

Ouch !

[shizzl]

I've never had issues stopping it, actually has good solid pedal

@cletus would this be one of the dodgy ‘murica conversions? (Ie not a seperate chassis?)
econovan Camper in nz but uncomplied 

 

“Although this is a running vehicle, it is not road legal. I lived in it for a year, at a camp ground. It has all facilities, kitchen, toilet, shower, 3way fridge, tv etc. New awning, gas stove top and oven and a new heavy duty battery. It is a 8 1/2 mtr 1989 Ford Econovan American import, lefthand drive. It has not been registered in NZ, it has only been used as a park up. All questions will be answered honestly.”

@datlow Looks big enough to get you into the heavy vehicle category / nightmare

I would say it would be a separate chassis, the dodgy ones were usually vans with mods to the van body, that looks like it was probably a cab chassis deal to start with. @Nominal sounds correct, I'd bet it would be over 3500kg so would need the handlebars swapped over, heavy vehicle cert, RUC,  all that stuff  

 

Probably why it has never been complied already

[cletus]

This is probably the same starting point that it was built from, this has a gvm of 4500kg so would be classed heavy vehicle 

Also this one has a big block petrol engine so can you imagine how many petrols this would use. Aaaalll of them  

[datlow]

Aah damn (will double check weights etc)

cheers guys

/had dreams of bagged camper

It might not be so bad if it has a proper RV manufacturers FMVSS plate, and hasn't been further modified:

Is it true the lvvta is doing away with cert plates?

[MACKAZ]

@cletus  am I going down the right path? Have no exact dimensions and it's massively out of scale but materials listed are what I intended to use. 

[cletus]

Yeah that would be ok, probably a good idea to reduce the number of plug welds in the plate on the chassis

Last training session we had, there was a plan to get rid of plates and replace them with a small plastic disc with a chip in it, that you could scan and it would take you to a website or app or something with photos of the vehicle as certified, and much greater detail on vehicle mods than can be fitted on the plate 

[igor]

So every traffic cop and wof guy would need to be able to scan the disc? Not particularly helpful for potential buyers of a modified car if they can't scan the disc themselves.

[tortron]

They all have the capability to scan whatever already. Parking tickets just drive by and the cameras scan the plates
