Registration of No.5s?
« on: November 15, 2015, 08:59:27 AM »
Just bought an early No.5 and was wondering if it needs to be registered in Victoria? It seems it meets the exempt guidelines in the Vic Roads Light Trailer Pack.

Will it require safety chains to comply? Not v.original if it does  :(

Cheers, Daryl

One of the mods that had to be done to all Number 5's was the fitting of safety chains. I have a 1960's era RAEME trailer andand 1970's Number 5 and both have safety chains fitted, by the army. So, on that basis, chains are "original".
Having said that, my first Number 5 which I sold over 10 years ago, and which I got direct from the army auctions, did not have chains.
That should make it easier for you to decide lol!

Yep and yep.

It's greater than 3m long (by 180mm) and therefore will need to be registered. Only $55.50 per year.

Cheers men😉 Then I favour welding an eye to the drawbar heel rather than to the sides. As for rego, I'll hunt up its ARN and get a personalised plate if possible. (once I remove the paint from the ID plates)

I've always wondered, how much is a club permit for a trailer?

club permit in Victoria for trailer is about $20 as you don't pay the TAC fee on trailers

And it's 160kg over the (unladen) limit too  :(

I don't think you can do that, Not for a trailer.
Seems you can for a car, though.

Hmmm , hoping so.

A curious thing, the Chassis no. 103 brings up an ARN of 101-026, dated 1963 in the database. Doesn't seem to accord withe ID plate?

Chassis and tubs were changed regularly. The ARN was the only constant.
It's a case of best guess.

Dusty - a question - I cannot recall seeing the red and amber Lucas L488 set before -  could be a really early build or a post-army mod?

Definitely in service brake and blinker both sides. Notice no big breake on drivers side and normal black out light for number plate light.

Second batch of production.
