DSC04379.jpg

made from a piece of aluminium I found in the scrap bin at a truck place.. :)

took 20 mins to make and its like 6mm thick too, so not going anywhere but meant I needed longer bolts...

Mine is the same, though 3.5mm from bunnings.

I'm actually surprised they OK'ed that without washers under the bolt head.

I'm just tossing up whether I should buy the 48's Traction have on special or just run the KU36's again, there might be another day left in them, I hope...

Mine are the same, Stainless M6 cap screws with nylock nuts, no washers on 3mm alloy strap. The scrutineers were wrapped with the install, compared to some of the other ones they had seen last Saturday.

Oh Martin, I knew someone would complain..where would you like to see washers mate, I'll put some there for you ok..I'd love to lend you entry fee too mate but I had to beg and plead with the finance dept myself.. I find the trick is to ask just before they're about to climax as they will enthusiasticaly say yes to anything ;)..Bar that Just sell a kidney or something you know it's worth it.

if my tax arrives might even enter!

I have a feeling you'll be receiving it soon :P

Care to post a pic of what your awesome one looks like? :D

Just filled out my Cams licence just then and was about to send, but then just realised I don't have a passport photo. Cot dayum...

Just used a facebook picture for the photo. Cams processed and should get it next week :D

Edited by blah_blah

I only fitted them on the drivers side for now, mainly because I don't sit in the passenger seat often. I tried out the bitch seat today and it definitely needs spacing up 10 or so mm at the front.

When I did mine the cams regs asked for body washers both sides and 2 x M6 bolts.

that said just glanced at the current regs and they have removed mounting info other that it must withstand 25G..no idea how scrutineers can test that!

So I withdraw my comment looks like it would pass current regs

There are no washer for the seat.....

1. You don't want the fire ext under the brake pedal!

Man there's no way that extinguisher is getting past my legs, even if it did its not going to fit under the pedal..

It can easily be mo ed to the passenger side anyway should officials complain :)

If it's flying around the cabinet at PI it could end up anywhere.

End of the day, it's common sense. No teck screws, bolts that are made from metal and not plastic (zipties) and attached in two locations so it doesn't swivel all over the place.

    • I clean my wheels every time I wash the car, I also clean the barrels, the only product I use on the wheels is truck wash and a pressure washer, followed by (inset your chosen name brand) wash and wax, time per wheel is probably 2 minutes total, cleaning the barrels is easy with one of these microfibre thingies on a stick from Sabco, they're also great for getting in between the front guards and body, and tight spots in the engine bay ย 
    • An updated post here. Sounds to me like there's definitely a bit of sketchiness here.ย  Old mate with 10 rusting Torana's in the front yard might be more who they're focussed on. (For right or wrong).
    • Is this not just about people wrecking, and storing, multiple cars in their front yard? I now a tow truck driver that was contracted by the council to clean up housing commission front and rear yards in houses and unit car parks I'm all for working on, and doing maintenance on your car in your garage or driveway, but some people definitely take the pissย  There's one house locally to me that I walk past regularly where the front yard and driveway looks like a wreckers, multiple cars in various stages of being stripped, and the yard looks like all of fluids are basically dumped on the ground I may be wrong, but it seems that the initial reports, which I've seen nothing actually official about yet, may be getting taken out of context, like alot of the latest "the sky is falling" stuff found on the youtubes for clicks
    • have they? Link appreciated. I live in Casey. I can see both sides of the argument in this case. There's a lot of sketchy stuff going on. There needs to be a clear definition of what this is supposed to be IMO. I wager the intent was to be a broad sweeping brush against people who have 4 cars up on blocks on their front lawn, not someone who services their own car behind their own gate on a weekend bothering probably nobody. But it'd be hard to legislate the difference there.
    • Oh, the wheels were already off. I wouldn't normally take them off to clean them although it does make it easier with the ceramic, so I might take them off when reapplying. I don't drive much but now with the ceramic coat, when I do drive and they get dirty I can get most off with the pressure washer. I'll be switching to dirtier pads soon which was the motivation for the ceramic as I usually just clean them and sometimes use Autoglym wheel protector. Nah, f**k the barrels! Haha, I'll give them a quick scrub when they're off the car and a pressure wash, but even I draw the line with the barrels. Yes, dark coloured wheels allow you to get away with a lot! ย
