which of these things do i need an engineers cert. for?
how many things do i need an engineers cert. for? i am getting closer to having my bus on the road and just wondering what i need certified.
RX3 front seats - 1 on VW rails, other on modified rails, were already installed in car but horrendously attached
fold out bed - wood based
cupboards - original outwardly but much modified
windows - cut into panelvan from near new
Poptop from Trakka - been on the car most of its life
Datsun Doorhandles - on inside of front doors
New lighting everywhere inside
Rear seatbelts - both lap only and mounted through floor as vans didnt come with mounts
Customised dash - smoothed guage housing and vent mounts
Subaru engine - registeed previously as subi powered with 1.6l engine, but now swapped to 1.8l (straight blt in conversion)
thats all i can think of for the moment, but how many of those things would need to be certified and how much should the certifying cost?
thanks
Ryan

Seats, belts and engine. Do you have the old paperwork for the engine?

will have to look, but think the QLD conversion plate lists the engine number, i know the old rego sticker did, and i believe because of the small
change in engine it has no effect. i thought because the windows and roof were fitted by a factory 30yrs ago that they would be fine?

Prices will vary, mine was $80 for the first mod, paying for the plate and the engraving, then $20 for each additional mod after that.
The best thing to do would be to find a respectable approval engineer to talk to. Vicroads should be able to give you the name of approval engineers
in your area.
