Default Warning label for dash

Hi there everyone.

Can someone please post a pic of the dash warning label for ICV advising of no crash test?

I need to get one made and want to make sure I have the wording correct
Also if you could include the dimensions.

Thanks again.

Here are some pics of heading toward rego trim.

Aero screen with mirrors and correct seats in place.
The seatbelts are labeled as ADR approved, not sure if I will get away with then as I though they needed to be retracrtable?


And another


And here are the side pipes, heat shields are rolled and ready to fit (will paint after test fitted) and the clamps on the pipes I will use to secure them (again will paint these heat proof black after trial fit).

Hi Boxhead
So long as the belts are ADR complient and have the AS clearly labled they will be fine.
Does your side pipes pass the noise test?
Cant comment on the ICV placard as I didnt need one

I too probably wont need one but figure for the $10 it will take to get one made it could save headaches later.

The car will go for noise test possably next week, along with emissions test and brake test.

Depends if I get the heatshields finished off and the wheels back on.

Did you get a costing from Jack yet?

No problem. Wish you'd asked a day earlier, arrived back in Saudi this morning Looking at some other images the placard is approx half a stripe wide.

Cheers

G'Day Boxhead. I'll try to send a pic of my labels that I have on my temporary rego dash. It is just a bit of printed paper stuck under a piece of clear contact. It will be replaced with a sticker in the door frame. The dimensions are 138 x 23 or 143 x 24

G'day Boxhead. I have emailed you a Word Document I used for mine. I think I just cut it out as it printed and it was the right size. I just covered it in clear contact and stuck it on the dash near the middle.

I managed to make and fit the side pipe covers today before dropping a very heavy rock on my foot, if it is still sore tomorrow then I will go for an xray.

Alffie, I will give you a call on Monday, If you see Jack can you let him know I am keen to fly him down to Alice to do my inspection.

As I would prefer him over the new guy as I the new guy is an unknown quantity and I am not sure if he knows 100% what I am looking for,

Certainly is, It has gone down alot overnight, but yesterday about noon it only had about 40cm to go before bursting its banks and flooding the town centre.

In the first 4 or 5 days of 2010 we had more rain than we did for all of 2009, and it has rained alot more since then.

Dave,

My plaque has almost identical wording to Krait's only it's red with white lettering, but I think that's only a NSW stipulation. Downloaded a few pics of the car ready for Engineering, including the Warning Plaque and the daggy wheels and tires in case the Engineer locks it up.
