[Winnie]

Are Patrols classed as light trucks????

No........

I thought 4WDs were MC not MA. Does that make a difference?

Yes, you are correct, they are and no, it doesn't make a difference.
MA, MB, MC and MD1 are all the same in this specific clause

Personally, I love my CView's!

No, Wiinnie is on the money... Light Trucks are NA (GVM up to 3.5T) NA1 is up to 2.7T and NA2 is 2.7T to 3.5T

Patrols are MC2 (pax vehicle, over 2.7T GVM, max 9 seats, designed for offroad use, 4WD, high clearance)

As a point of interest for Zook drivers, MC1 is the same 'cept the GVM is under 2.7T

G'eve, ET :-)

You're a legend mate!! Where can we all find these statutes referred to, ADR www.? booklet?


14.2.3.1.2. Mounting - The mirror mounting shall provide a stable support for the mirror and neither the mirror nor the mounting shall protrude further than the widest part of the vehicle body except to the extent necessary to produce a field of view meeting the requirements of Clause 14.2.3.1.1.

Would love to challenge a 'Double Bubble' on some of the points above 'necessary' yet I may come undone within 14.2.3.1.1 ?hopefully/thankfully I do have a very wide ute tray :-) !

I am not a mere legend, I am a god and all should bow before me!
Thats my opinion anyway.

Oh, and ADR's are all on the web.
Just type, say, "vehicle mirror ADR" and you should get a hit or if you know the number just "ADR 14"
