Advice - Engineering & Blueslip
Mick058 - May 6th, 2008 at 08:08 AM

I'm working hard to get the car ready for Nats. Any advice on 'little' things that i may have forgotten regarding registration?

Do you need a horn? Do you need windscreen squirt's? Any little things like that...

yes u need a horn and washers all the common things

then you need details on the additional stuff you have changed or added

Damn, was hoping you didn't need washers. Does the engineer check that or is that when you blueslip. Does the horn have to be connected to the push button on the steering column. I ran a single wire up my steering column just incase but i've heard its difficult to get it to earth properly.
That suxs about the washers...

Hi

See you this arvo, you also need demisters, 2 speed wipers and make sure everything is clean.

heater channels are fine for demisters right? All the tubing is there. 2 speed wipers - check.

Hey Steve, would you have a spare washer line lying around? The ones that work off the tyre pressure? Unless i just fit an electric one. Hate adding all this extra stuff.

If ya busted for the tyre pressure one i have a complete set up off a Super beetle you can borrow

You would have to pick up though

Sweet, ill keep that in mind. Probably let you know in the next week or so. Ill see how subtle the electric ones can get. Things are getting cluttered

Supposedly demisters need to be fan forced, anybody have photos of their demisters, heard of using 12v hair dryer, or have most people found it doesn't come up or the heater channels are suffice. Advice?

the stock system is fine for demister. if the car was fitted with it as oem its fine for a blue slip most of the time
