I went to Regency today and the points you raised Twisty did help me alot thanks.
- I took off the bonnet tool holders, good, they wanted them off
- removed the jerry can holders, good, they wanted them off
- antenna mounts x4 all removed, good
- ignition key added, they made no comment
- I had the exhaust fixed to exit out rear, no comment made, but he was crawling around to work out where it was.
The exhaust Guy (Exhaust Plus Osmond Tce) said if it exited on other side I would have been okay, cannot exit on the side it was due to pedestrians getting a lung full.
However, it was rejected and you did warn me.
- Lift Rings, rear lift rings protrude beyond the towbar, they need to be cut back.
- Front bullbar lift rings protrude and need to be removed back flush with main bullbar
- windscreen bonnet rests also need to be removed.
I mentioned that a previous 110 had been passed with them there (windscreen bonnet rests) in place and he said if I get vehicle standards to sign the form he will let it pass... I think its easier to remove and add back later!
I went to an engineering firm later after that and asked if they could sort my lifting point protrusions. They will sort next week for $100.
Not happy I have to make permanent changes to lift points due to their requests, but I have little choice really. I might just want a chopper lift or need those lift points if it gets a ride on a herc! Oh well.
The assessor did say he could see the effort made etc etc and mentioned the jerry can holders removed.
Hope to be on the road soon
Cheers
