Thread: Perentie RFSV Roll bar/rear seat.

Would the RPS page be good enough?

Sent from my Nexus 4 using AULRO mobile app

The RM detailsthe parts and the EMEI for the vareint includes the fitting instructions.

ask them if they've EVER tried to get a design change for something past ADF/ADI.

the process involved makes dealing with government vogons seem appealing.

I doubt you wi get an engineer report.......

There should be install instructions available for the ROPS......but all the ROPS is is a bit of tube bolted to the body.........they do not run down to the chassis like every other ROPS is required to do.

I presume this may be a key benefit when convincing the inspector that it is in fact a heavy duty hoodstick setup rather than a roll bar.

Yes, remove all stickers.......and its s hood stick.

You will not get approval, been there and a big no no.

Also side facing seats Re GS can no longer be approved in QLD.

A couple of comments:

1. The rear seat in an RFSV is rearward facing.
2. The compliance for side facing seats is at the date of the vehicle's manufacture/date of modification (fitting the seats). Not today.

If it were the case that side facing seats were outlawed, then the hundreds of Toyota Land-Cruiser Troopy's with side facing seats would be banned too. Mostly you'll find them on Fraser Island.

BTW: Outside the above comments, I'd never have a friend of mine sitting in a sideways facing seat, seat-belt, full-harness or otherwise. Riding in that alignment is just not safe.

Agree re the side facing seats, other than slow paddock trips, wouldn't recommend it on the road.
Re the rear facing seats...that brings back distant memories of our kids being in rear facing baby seats, that was a long time ago, is that still done?....if so, that would be a tick for a rear facing seat??
