JoKer Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 7mm un captive I was told last time I had some made/certed some now say even then they still need to be "captive" ie fixed to the hub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldNathan Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 20mm spacers and 30mm adapters if I read right. Dont get caught like I nearly did with offsets. Not that you will be going huge dish I dont think. Offset cant be more then 20% the width of the wheel + or -. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 yes youfullas are correct. top of guards/20mm max for spacers 30mm for adaptors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cletus Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Adaptors are easy- max 30 mm, must be located by either tapered seat wheel nuts, or locate on the hub spigot. properly made out of suitable materials etc etc.Spacers (slip-on type) are trickier, usually have to be custom made. max 20mm Must be single stud pattern. ie not those multi fit 4/5 stud slotted hole ones surfaces must be parallel and flat. no holes other than the holes for the wheel studs and locating bolt wheel must be supported by hub spigot not wheelstuds spacer must be attached to the hub or wheel wheelstuds still have to be long enough made from suitable material etc note adaptor size is max 30 mm now- also someone asked about gps speedos 238765 pages back- that has changed as well, cant use them any more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJZ Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 So is a wheel spacer that bolts on to the original wheel studs and has another set of studs is considered an adaptor even if they are the same stud pattern? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoKer Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I consider that to be an adapter still and you not using a single set of studs (I am not mechanically minded / credited in any way) plus I love how the rules change monthly / take into account the better manufacturing of said spacer/adapters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUNAMUCK Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 You are the man Clint. There is so much my uncles brothers cousin got cert with such and such so that must be legit bs out there. And then there's this thread. One click and all the good oil is layed out. It's easier than trying to wade through the NZHCTM too. I think the adapters on My dads ranger ute are 40mm though. lol (Even old people need friendly wof men) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Just received my cert plate for the Viva! yah! Everything on it all good except its states my car is a 4 door! The has two doors. EDIT; Another plate is on order and I'll get them swapped over when it arrives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 That is very common. I've heard of all kinds of cock ups on cert plates. (Some ftw too!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 i'm just fucking happy it arrived this week. Off to blenheim in a few minutes to get the viva woofed. Woo hoo. A weekend of old cars and fluffy kittens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anhonyb Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 does the rear windscreen washer need to work for wof? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UTERUS Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 If it's there, yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 My front windscreen washer didn't work for wof as I had broken off the jets. But they didn't test it at all- only the wipers. A mate told me that he had his washers tested for Wof and was failed due to the jets squirting enough fluid!!!! So I guess it all depends where you go. I wouldn't have thought a car should fail due to the rear screen washers not working though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Threeonthetree Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 A number plate related question here. I'm interested in purchasing some personalised plates from a guy I know. I'm not usually a fan of P/Plates hence why I'm clueless about them, but these are something else. Anyway, how does the legal side of purchasing a set of P/Plates work? Is there some sort of ownership form or do they just belong to whoever has them in their posession? Also if the plates were a bit bent or damaged and I wanted to have them remanufactured, would the cost be the same as having standard plates remanufactured? Cheers for any advice.
