fitting cert plate
fitting cert plate
passed the cert
plate is on its way but the WOF place that was going to fit the cert plate and do the wof has backed out.
can i fit the plate myself?
if so is there any particular place it has to be fitted?
i have another garage lined up to do the WOF and they can fit the plate, but thats not until next week.

they send it to a WOF place for fitting.
that saves me a fair bit of driving and i can get wof at the same time. handy for me and no doubt they have better paying jobs to do.
Re: fitting cert plate
Just throw it on yourself?
Mount it somewhere visible on the firewall where the VIN/Model plates are fitted.

there was a time the cert guy wouldn't let the plate out of his hands until the adhesive tape had been taken off the back and he had personally riveted it to the engine bay

not 100% sure. may just be dislikes modded vehicles. but possibility a bit of politics with work not taking their vehicles to him.
Re: fitting cert plate
Fit it yourself ,take photo and send to cert man ,letting him know the situation with the wof guys, yep fire wall or inside glove box. No worries .

Re: fitting cert plate
Yeah, any where easily accessable on the firewall is ideal
Re: fitting cert plate
got a reply back this morning.
no i cannot fit it myself, i cannot even pick it up. old mechanic has to send it back to cert place and they will resend it to the new wof mechanic.
i guess its a case of only authorized persons can be in possession of it. i guess thats to reduce the risk of vehicle owner modifying the plate before fitting.

Re: fitting cert plate
You can get a Delagation form off your certifier which allows you to fit it.

Did you do a built thread? What mods have you done needing the cert?

i've set it up for light 4wding so its only minor stuff.
2l to 3l engine swap
ball joint spacers, 2" lift. diff drop sway bar spacer.
intercooler
fairly standard stuff that gets done. i've got a few pics on here somewhere on couple of bits.
interestingly pillar gauges are on the cert. wtf?
only thing of interest was the argument for the driveshaft loop. technically don't need one untill your over 1.5x the power of the ORIGINAL engine. which would be difficult to do. but theres also the argument that because its mech injection not EFI its easy to wind up the fuel screw, therefore it has the potential to be over the threshold.
in the end i fitted a driveshaft loop, fairly easy and cheap to do and it saves them getting their panties in a bunch later on.
