Re: Age of tyres
Begs the question has to where the belt mounting points are on a Morgan then - has the chassis and frame were formed from ash and then alloy skined for a significant period - and Marcos which were formed on a ply and fibreglass bodyshell.

Re: Age of tyres
I NZ engineering certification was introduced in the late 1980s...
I was invloved to some extent thru submissions with the NZ Hot Rodding faternty as to specs etc...The ralley guys, vintage, the whole car interst was involved ....
Our NZ engineering specs are same. similar to Aussie and also iclude orginal manufacture specs.
If the cars did not have seatbelts then the engineering specs came into play.
Just because the car 'passes' a WoF inspection, doesnt mean it is legal...it just means the inpsection has not been carried out correctly
IF a accident, or death results, the owner, installer, and the WoF inspector can, and historical has, been charged with mansluaghter with conviction.
If in doubt, or have concerns, I suggest to spend the couple hundred dollars, get it inspected by a certified approved inspector then either remove the seat belts or bring them up to certification stds and then legally pass a WoF.
If a car is pulled over by a police officer, and he has an interst in hot rods or old cars, is in the know...even if it has a current WoF...he can pink sticker it...If u happen to be on a club run, or ralley, a long way from home...getting it transported home....getting it certified, the cost of getting up to std..if that is the direction u want to go....is going to be hugely more expensive than simple getting it certified in the 1st place
This is assuming u have not had an accident...if u have, the seat belt failed , serious injury, death, huge legal expenses and most importnt some one has got hurt because they assumed the setbelts where safe.
Its the difference between 'fixing' a king pin with a bit of tinfoil to pass a WoF and actually fixing the king pin by replacing.
Which school of thought/practice should Jowett clubs allow or not allow?
