Constant shift light defects !! Sat, 23 November 2002 13:13 Go to next message

hey can someone explain why they sell these A-pillar gauge mounts as I was pulled over by the pigs, and I had an RTA inspector go over me whole car! I got a defect cause my 5inch Autometer Shift light was like 2 inches about the highest part of the dash. The RTA inspected showed me the actual law or legslilation on where aftermarket gauges can be mounted and he said those A-pillar mounts are totally illegal yet they are in every car in most 4cyl mags!! The Inspector said the only place its legal is if its mounted no higher than the highest point of the dash Sad Who else has had this problem?

yeah so did I, that was when the Inspector went to car and got a graphic image picture of where aftermarket gauges can be mounted, this was NSW law, Not sure about other states though.

Yeah, I have that problem too, I just act as if I didn't know it was illegal and they give me a warning and tell me to remove it. I haven't been issed a defect notice.
