???RAG-TOP>>MOD PLATE>>Q.L.D???

Just got a new rag-top so I need some info from you guys here in Q.L.D. that have done mods to there bugs.
do I need a mod plate for this sort of job?
can I do this(I have can-opener!lol) or does a trades person have to?
if I got it done by somebody,how much would it cost roughly?
I though I saw a write up about it in a recent mag ,which mag was it?
any help would be great

I'm saving the Webasto for an Oval I am hoping to get in the future!
If you want to know what the regulations are I would telephone the State authority and ask them anonymosly of course!

No worries in NSW, I had a bit of a dissagreement with a bloke doing a pink slip for my brothers car that I did some repairs on, I rang the RTA and they explained to me the regulation covering the repairs, I was right and the mechanic was just trying to make life hard for me and get some work at the same time, when I told him I contacted the RTA and they told me what was what, he reluctantly gave in.
When I installed the Pop top in my Kombi I did the same thing, I just called and asked and never gave them my name!
