Default Engineer help.

When I first bought my rolling kit I called an engineer in NSW for advice on how to proceed. He seemed to take great delight in shouting me down and discouraging me from building it at all. Since then I have progressed with ADR's and other CC members experiences as guidelines to a point where I am very close to startup stage.
I am seeking advice from you guys as to who I might use as an engineer. I would like to be able to work with them using emails and pics until the time comes for a physical inspection. I have engineering paperwork from other registered cars and know that torsional testing and fibreglass testing figures are available.
I mainly need to run my thoughts on seatbelt mountings and brake setup (will they let me use wilwood dbl cylinder with balance?) past an engineer before proceeding.
The kit is an Evans with L76 and 6 speed, Jag f/r suspension.

Any help here or through PM's is greatly appreciated.

He probably can, but I'm not sure
Just give him a call he'll be able to tell you who can if he doesn't.

I have spoken to Kevin at Wyong. He has the set up to do it and was helpful on the phone, but Peakhurst is closer.

cheers.
