Thread: Sideways facing troopy seats in back

If I have a compliance plate that lists only 3 seats as the capacity and there is no mod plate fitted, but there are side facing folding seats fitted, with no seatbelts. If these were fitted in the days before seatbelts in the back were compulsory and before the days of blue mod plates (I'm in Qld) I shouldn't need to fit one to register it should I?

And how do I know when they were fitted? Anyone been through this and know what the rule is?

Worked for Qld Transport, and also been through this myself.

If it says three on the compliance plate, and there is no mod, in QLD you'll only be registered (and insured), to carry three.

Series 3 came out after compulsory seat belts so you're out of luck there too.
1969 for front and 1971 for rear.

You've really got two options
1. Get a mod plate ($60?) and seat belts in the back
2. Take out the seats in the back

That's the only way you'll get it registered in the sunny state.

Or get a series II, or IIA pre 1968...they were pre-compliance plates, so don't have seating capacity, and don't need seat belts
