Frank, Brian et all,

Welcome to the land of SUBJECTIVITY !!!!

This is the sort of stuff that the builders and manufacturers in Australia have been forced to deal with for decades. A set of rules originated by an Australian governing body which is administered or enforced by individuals.

Be very careful (I sound like Elmer Fud) that this is not allowed to continue to the position it is in Australia today.

In my opinion there are TWO basic types of inspectors :

1.The guy who says " It does not tell me you can have it so you can't", and

2.The guy who says "It does not tell me you can not have it so you can".

These are very different attitudes and we all want the last guy to represent us but this is wrong. I would like to see all the guys reading the same page and interpeting it the same way.

The major advantage you have in the UK is that you have a body (Specialist Car Manufacturers Association - or something like that) that is representing you. This is something I am very concerned with in Australia. We lack representation at all levels and this has made things almost impossible in NSW (read Sydney and associated areas) to register a "kit car".

Please take my advice and get the SCMA to react to this with urgency.

Best wishes,

Robert
