One of your first hurdles will be getting the chassis stiff enough. 6000Nm is the most common torsional requirement used by our state transport departments these days and the ERA chassis from the numbers I have seen would be around half that using our chassis testing method. But contact a local SA engineer as I expect you won't need that sort of number there going on the information I have.
You will also need to meet the door strength requirements, including hinge points and suitable door latches.
ERA is a beautiful bit of kit, nice body shape as well. Good luck with it.

Thanks Craig. We met at Springfield last April-ish. There were a lot of people there but I had a plaster on my nose...
Anyway, so ERA quote 3500lbft/deg which is around 4700Nm/deg, so yes a bit short of your figure.
And just for comparison, what is the stiffness figure for an RCR-40?
If you have any recommendations for a local compliance engineer, can you PM me?
Cheers,
Glen
