The accountability of the facility performing the inspection is being increased is the main thrust my good friend informs me.

Our heavy vehicles have had to have various dimensions, drum diameters, rotor thickness etc for a while now.

That kind of thing is coming down to the smaller vehicles.

The excuse that a vehicle 20 days since it's safety has no rotor left wont fly anymore at the scene of an accident.

The "not fitted at time of manufacture" is still in existence to my knowledge.

As Chris Vickery says, do it right and you have nothing to be concerned about, after all, we are not in Europe are we . . . .

Gents,

Looks as if there is not enough time to push this through as I DO want a safe vehicle. I'll take my time and make necessary repairs as are needed. I'll have the mechanic give me a pre-inspection. I've waited this long might as well do it right. Thanks for the input. I guess this is why we are in this situation now because some mechanic pushed through an unsafe vehicle and someone got hurt.= lawsuit. For clarification I had no intention of taking my truck for long distance trips just an opportunity to move it from one shed to the next to work on it. The last thing I want is for the truck to not stop in a parade and hurt somebody.

Thanks guys

Drew
