no its not legal as you are required to have something covering the wheels and protecting against stones thrown up by the tires.

i CANNOT SEE HOW IT IS LEGAL...
unless maybe engineered that way....
but as the wheels throw dirt stones and water everywhere I believe they shouldn't be legal....
at least the drive wheels should have to have mudguards and mudflaps... as in rallying...

the same way most of them get registered.
they put a set of cycle guards on for rego then as soon as its passed off they come again, thats even if they get regoed some just get signed off. the
inspector doesnt even see the car, its not the way its suppose to happen. then there are the ones on club rego.
there are way too many dodgy people out there that think ill do this its fine.
i will say that its not all of them that are done this way some have gone down the engineering report method but finding one that will sign off on the
report is a completely different thing. then there is the rego inspection

Pre 48(i think) hotrods are covered by a different set of standards for engineering etc when on club plates, but even still I would imagine they aare
meant to have cycle guards at the very least.

All rods must have guards, it's just that some choose to take them off once regoed. It's the risk that they take to get a canary, and spoil it for
others who may legitimately be running guards. ASRF have some pretty strict guidelines. If you break those laws then you just make it harder for
everyone else.

I can't see them being legal either but doesnt stop people doing it like most mods that are illegal like T-bars, headlight eyebrows etc.
I will say onething though if you're gonna go ahead, make sure they are very well secured.
That beige one with the red sides in afew dubs by the pub photos that's been on ebay recently was a few cars ahead of me coming home on the highway
from dubs by the pub when it lost one of them.
Went underneath the Kombi behind who is a fellow forum member on here, then launched about 10meters in the air before coming down almost through
another cars windscreen.
If that bug wasnt engineered for those mods which I would be surprised if it was and it had of gone through the windscreen shit would have hit the fan
big time.
