There is a massive gap between what Vic and NSW expect with respect to engineer involvement with modifications. Speak to an engineer.

I'm swinging my roof rack off external bars that run down to the side steps at the front, at the rear the bars will tie into the steel frame canopy and ROPS that comes off it. Nothing touches the cab.

This is interesting stuff - has anyone got a sympathetic engineer in NSW?

I got a full cage....

I guess if defected, to rectify, we can just unbolt the cafe and put the blanking plates on?

10minuties to unbolt the cage. Undo 4*6 nuts.

Cheers

Isn't the real issue that your insurance would be void if you had an on road accident?

Only if the roof rack contributed to the accident.

Why on earth would you want a roll cage on a Defender 130?
