Australian Market Question - Rebarrelling

[Peter Laidler]

MANY thanks for threads 17, 18 and 19. You just lit up my little world with the mention of my beloved 750 Commando, my famlly workhorses Golf GTi, and Polo's) and the v8 powerhouse I had in my MGB GT V8. Made my evening. What about your Commando being your next avatar Ridolpho.

Re the rudimentary inspection for your Commando Ridlopho, surely someone like a chartered graduate mechanical engineer (me not chartered!) could write a certificate on his headed paper stating that I..... of....... am a ......... with a BSc in ...... at ..........Uni and have XY years experience in motor vehicle engineering have examined a 1974 .............. and can confirm that............. Would that be acceptable? Some years ago when my son was due to take his test in his little cheap Renault Clio, it was announced that you couldn't take your test in them because the bonnets were prone to opening due to, well....., French workers basically! UNLESS it had a certificate from Renault no less that it had been modified and was blah blah blah and so on. Cost from Renault locally (and nationally, £55) So I did no more that write out a headed note, put my quals, dates, uni and stated that I had inspected it and could certify that it had been modified with the steel hook in place of the plastic crap. The examiner accepted it and off he went. I don't suppose it would have worked if you were a graduate in Abyssinian Pottery before 2000bc. or Needlework
