Nelson-Some mechanics will insist that you have seatbelts and turn signals, etc for a safety. If you attempt to advise them to read the Highway Traffic Act, they will stonewall you and say they know more than you do.
You would be best to ask in advance if they understand how to safety an historic vehicle. If they won't cooperate, find a mechanic who does older cars and knows the regulations. John

Importing
Hello Nelson
In Ontario seatbelts are not required for vehicles built prior to 1970. If you wish to have these installed then you have to have information from the original manufacture of where the approved location would be to install these and then have it done professionally. Back yard seatbelt installations are not approved. I have seen self installed seatbelt anchors get pulled through the floor in a crash. The safety inspection would be for Provincial licencing as per original manufacture equipment for vintage vehicles. Only new or newer vehicles ( Note sure the years) need to meet the Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standard and need to be modified to meet them, such as daytime running lights etc. You can look this up on the Transport Canada web page.http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/roadsafety/s...-index-445.htm You have had a wealth of knowledge and experience on importation with Jim and John, which is great. If my memory serves me right, U hauls are all registered in the USA. So you should not have a problem, but check with Canada Customs. Make sure you have a copy of the contract. The U HAUL Dollies do not have licence plates. So are not considered trailers. Good luck Eric

Jim-I think it's OK if you fax them the information, but you should have originals with you when you cross. They really only need the VIN to check it for liens and make sure it isn't stolen. That's why it's a good idea to phone customs and make sure they are happy with their checks before you go to all the bother of trucking your new purchase to the border and find out they found something wrong with the vehicle history.

i believe you need the org title to cross over.i bought a trencher jeep in nj.tried to bring it thru us customs at the 1000 islands would not let me in without org title.refused me as a parts vehicle said all nj vehicles should have title.got plain ugly as they just refused every step of the way.ended up selling it in the usa to recoup some money.a real lessoned learned.regards jim.
