[RT104GT]

It had to come to the top sooner or later and raises the issue about OEM fender mirrors being placed on Australian delivered Japanese cars.



section 16:

Any object or fitting. protruding from any part of the vehicle in any manner likely to create risk of bodily injury to any person.

Any component, feature or object or fitting on the vehicle and the manner in which it is affixed....blah blah blahhh as above.


The rules also go into great detail about bonnet scoops and likelehood of injury from them

Section 15...

Hi,

I just read it in the CMECC CASTERNOTES monthly news letter printed in sections from a VIC ROADS doco
which I will endeavour to find for you when I attend the meeting next week.

At this stage I have seen nothing official on letterhead but at bottom of the copy it says VIC ROADS PUBLICATION NUMBER 00425


but I suspect it is to introduce the M plated modified Historical category in November and is giving the club scrutineers a guideline to follow when approving cars for club rego.

I guess Mr Fergus would be a good source...
