Years ago I used to have to take my cars/bikes/semi's over the pit for a rwc every six months...I found that if one goes in with a good attitude...one drives away with a rwc....if one goes in arrogantly...well....you take your chances.

I have no issues with a vehicle not meeting a state requirement. or a local regulation.. What gets me every time is when the person presenting the issue is incorrect OR provides you with duff gen. with a few varient exceptions, perenties, provided they are in a fully comliant build state with the ADR plate and the mod late attached and correctly drilled are, with the exception of the blackout lights, completely compliant with the ADR's because ADRS are not retrospective.

VSR, VSS, good luck. generally you should be ok but I wouldnt want to be passing more than a surface glance at them pick a technical aregument in those realms and at best your odds are 50/50. the best argument you have is basically, predates those rules therefore not applicable.. and even then thats not entirely true.

IF.

your ADR plate is missing, damaged, defaced, not correctly attached
your MOD plate is missing, damaged, defaced, not correctly attached and not correctly drilled
your CAPO plate doesnt match up in any respect
there is any non approved mod work or repairs using non approved parts or parts replaced with non aproved parts

then you don't have a leg to stand on, because, technical bureaucratic reasons. and trust me, they dont need very much to knock back your rego legitimately.

Stick a rubber bumper to the bull bar that projects further than the recovery points and you shouldn't need to go near an angle grinder. Trucks often have suitable rubber U shaped bumpers on the back where fork lifts would hit them.

Good point...had forgotten about those on semi trailer fridge vans etc, rubber bumpers for backing up to docks etc, a couple of those on the front of the bush bar would do the trick.

All the Bushranger 6X6's including mine don't have a capo plate. I thought someone must have pinched mine but all the ones sold since with ARN's close to mine don't have one either. Guess someone decided they didn't need one.

not everything gets a capo plate, having one just makes it easier to prove how it came to the system. IF you have it, it must match, but it doesnt matter if you dont have one...

Recovery points moved . Check!

CAPO, I think stands for Contract And Purchase Order. The plate contains the Contract number used to purchase the item to which the plate is attached to. There is other information on the plate like the equipment official nomenclature. The department will have the files for the contract with the specifications used to buy the vehicles. I doubt the CAPO plate has any bearing on your ability to register a vehicle. It is part of the provenance of the vehicle just like the Army Registration Number (ARN) helps you in establishing to what unit the vehicle was issued the CAPO number will help you link the vehicle to a contract.
