Any Engineers on the Central Coast NSW that can help out?
Hi all,
As none of you would know, I'm a teacher at a SSP (Special School) that caters for kids with physical disabilities and autism.
Late last year, one of our school buses went for it's rego check and they wanted to see the engineer's report for the removable seating/wheel chair
tie down points that were installed in the bus years ago. Problem is - the report has gone missing from the glovebox. Kids have sticky fingers and it
may have gone walkabouts with one of them. Bad place to keep it, but it seemed logical at the time.
Either way, the RTA(or whatever they are called now) have refused to issue us with a copy of the original certificate for some reason, but are saying
that without it we can't get rego.
So - we are stuck with one bus instead of two and have to cut back on the social skills programs we run for our students. Without the certificate, the
bus is useless and we don't know what to do next - spend big money getting all the mounting points re examined for a $4000 toyota hiace or try and
fundraise the bucks for a new bus 20K+.
What I'm asking is this - if there is anyone on the NSW Central coast (or nearbyish) that would be able to help us out - it would be much
appreciated. There may even be a favourable mention in a newsletter if you play your cards right 
Cheers
Paul

Go to a different RTA office.
I read it on samba, so it must be correct.
Sometimes Volkswagen dealers sell spare parts. Amazing isn't it!

Cheers for the advice.
I know the Safe Travel Solutions place - they sorted me out with a baby seat for the car. I'll suggest that the the boss.
The original engineer has retired and all the paperwork has vanished apparently.
We were quoted $4000 for another inspection plus whatever changes need to be made. I have no idea what engineering certs cost - but at that kind of
price, it makes me rethink my profession a little.
