I picked up my new M plates yesterday.
Wasn't to hard so long as you are doing the right thing.

On a side note, how are people affixing there plates on the front of a mk1?
Surely you don't have to put new holes in the front panel?

How much did the MOD Plate cost for the engineers approval?
 
Have seen guys make stickers and affix them to the bumper or front lip

About $700.00 which I found reasonable, i used Bonneville consulting who was quite good to deal with.

MK1's had holes in the front panel for the number plate from new.  Yours must have had a new panel fitted or the holes filled in.
Good job with the car.  Its a tidy looking thing

Thanks gdub im pretty happy with it.
You wouldn't happen to know exactly where the holes are supposed to be?

Look for a shot of a MK1 front on and you will work out where the factory spot was pretty easily

Do the new changes combined with NCOP now make any new club registrations with 6 point cages ruled out???
 
I presume all the race/track cars with cages in the past been signed of by clubs without a RWC or am I missing something?
 
From my inquiries a rwc with full cage is a no no, therefore no new club regs, or am I speaking to the wrong people?
 
Even retrospectively any front legs that dont go through the dash do not meet meet VSI 28 and/or required VASS anyway?
 
I'm a little confused.
 
PM me if necessary.
 
Thanks, Shaun
 
 
 

From what I understand (don't take this as gospel), if you wanted to have a cage fitted, your car would become a Modified Vehicle, and require an engineering certificate on top of the RWC, under the revised permit rules. 
 
My 2c worth is that there is a staggered Engineering Certificate system required for permit driven cars.  This would allow modications at different levels not a one size fits all approach.  ie your CAMS approved cage should only require say a level 1 inspection if the driveline is factory correct.  A car with a V8 conversion brake swap revised suspension etc would be say a level 5.  You get the idea 

From my discussions a 6 point cage is not a problem so long as the front legs go through the dash.
It is the side intrusion bars that are a no no

what?
From my discussions a 6 point cage is not a problem so long as the front legs go through the dash.

Exactly my point. From the cars I see on club reg, this is definately the minority, either meaning they were previously signed off without a valid rwc or they have VASS approval? I'm guessing more than likely it was the former.
 
Unfortunately, (or fortunately) there aren't too many standard escorts around these days with factory issued drivelines and braking systems
