Also my buggy has flat panels riveted to the bar work along side the engine bay (rear quarter panels) Do I need to get the holes welded & remount the panels?
I suggest you don't do any serious mods yet. I will talk to some scrutineers about them reporting "Floor not removable" or "Hoist not available" etc. Commonsense may prevail!!
I have a number of pantec trucks and a couple of the latest ones have the whole side walls and roof sicoflexed on The builders of these seem to have faith in this process and my 5th wheel trailer is put together with it as well But once you stick panels and floors on they are there for good. How do you have the latest inspections or do you get a pass ?
no pass what you do is strip the car for parts use the money to go and buy a motorbike and go and have fun and you dont need to worry weather the side bar is 430mm or 450mm cause you dont have or need them on a motor bike.
I wrote to Jos Roder over the weekend, he said he would table my letter at the November AORCom meeting. There will be a dicussion about these inpections at the meeting. I suggest that anyone who has concerns about these rules write to Jos & outline them. If we are all silent AORCom will think we are all happy with the changes.
