Australian road wheels
I've five Australian road wheels for 110 that are surplus. Ordinary to good condition.
1/2" wider than the equivalent Series III wheel and with the reinforcing rib between the stud holes.
$100 for all five or swap for one Australian Series III wheel in excellent condition.

Re: New stage 1 owner - help registering with DLVA?
Date in raised text as per the plate you copied from REMLR is the norm. Hand stamped were randomly used at that time but not in that size, format or location. Yes the 3 is clearer in your second photo. Possibly if you clean more of the plate and look in the location of the date indicated on your sec...

Re: New stage 1 owner - help registering with DLVA?
Using my own database, car 504900 was a Sahara Dust wagon (no date recorded). Other close numbers are complianced early 1980. The assembly number will be in the low 40000s. These are with pressed dates. Not hand stamped, in the wrong place, with dramatically oversized punches, with a 3 overstamping ...

Re: New stage 1 owner - help registering with DLVA?
The generic statement for CKD is we have nothing and we won't even look, therefore they won't issue anything and refund the money you already paid. There is an Australian heritage group that have nothing to do with BMH. Ex staff old boys club. They do issue certificates, based on the data YOU provid...

Re: New stage 1 owner - help registering with DLVA?
BMH quote a generic excuse of disinterest for anything CKD. You would have to go there and book research time yourself. Ask stereotypical 'owner' questions and they won't let you in.

Re: New stage 1 owner - help registering with DLVA?
The fake date is a give-away. Even though hand stamping was known at that time. With a 14 character VIN it's not going to be a 1983 in any way or form. Seating capacity is also missing. Cleaning off all the over-spray may help. Have you looked on the RHF rail? As per the way the Compliance Plate rea...

Re: New stage 1 owner - help registering with DLVA?
As per your manual and handbook, chassis number is on the front right rail. Inside the wheel arch. From memory it should have the factory Asterix before and after. There isn't a national registration system in Australia (except for Federal plates). State systems, or at least Qld. don't give you acce...

Re: New stage 1 owner - help registering with DLVA?
For a start you need to compile all the vehicle's actual details. Having had a body swap on top of a possibly iffy importation isn't going to help. Have you started by matching the details on the Compliance Plate to those on the chassis? The assembly line number on the diff lock instructional placar...

Re: Electric
If you watch their videos filmed in the workshop they have a swarm of people. The nutty professor is the only one seemingly doing anything. I already surmised that he may have been an actor and the Rovers in the background were all pushed in or borrowed. If you google the address the front of shop l...

Inward facing seats
An interesting change to the rules in Australia for seating modifications (VSB5). Side facing seat conversions are now prohibited. If you already have them as factory fit or approved conversion all is good. But if you want to install them then too bad so sad.

Re: Electric
If you sign up to their newsletter there is yet another email contact address. I didn't try it. All signing up gets you is a link to their previous advertising videos.

Re: Electric
I did contact them via their website about electric assisted steering and disc brakes. No reply.
Tried direct email a few days later and also no reply. Hopefully the advertising isn't all of their substance.
