If you want to go beyond this, then you appear to be up for axle housing stiffening, or at least that is how I am interpreting it.

I am waiting for docs from Dobinsons to ratify the coils installed as meeting the ADR requirements and will advise when they come thru.

Right now I have a VASS sign-off for the engine swap. To add the GVM upgrade requires a completely new VASS assessment of all the items included in the original, plus anything else the engineer decides is applicable, so be aware if going down this track. Not happy.
Is this something you could maybe upload with google docs or something? I can then put in in the Vehicle Engineers sticky for other to read.

Cheers.
