Bad luck Bobby

What they are worried about someone leaning in there and burning themselves on a hot radiator? Seems the WA road authority is a stupid as the rest around the country.

Grills have seemed to have been a personal choice but perhaps no more. Just another item that falls off after rego perhaps.

So hop to it and make up some disposable items to get on the road!!

Cheers

Bobby, I'd have a chat with both RMC and G-Force to ascertain their knowledge of the requirement of a grill.

Maybe there has been some mis-interpretation of the rules.

Best of luck.

Default Sorry to hear that Bobby!

Nevermind...book your next inspection date straight away and it will only be probably another week before you get your approaval...Meet those 2 requirements and it will be a lot harder for the inspectors to knock you back next time round!

A bloody grill??? I have never heard of anyone requiring a grill for rego either!

I'm sure you can fabricate something up for a grill and side vents pretty quickly Bobby!

Regards.....Paul

Man those WA guys are strict.

I had no grille and no side vents.

My Vic Roads guy was only interested in the Vin No and Eng no and made sure I had not removed my mirrors or lights.

Good luck next time around.

Bummer Bobby
Those guys at Midland are so inconsistent. I can understand the side vents, but a grille! that's daft, anyhow, if that's all they want just do it ASAP and get those plates.

It's not the end of the world.... it is mildly annoying though

I've booked it in for next week already, so I'll just get the side vents from Rob at G-force, and then make up a "grille" out of the expanded mesh I used for the sidepipe heat shields....

The guy did say that if I fixed those things there should be no problems!!!
