    has the firewall been cut then panel beated back in or re welded a cup in there etc?? if in QLD you will need a mod plate..
    for
    1 - engine transplant
    2 - changes to fuel system
    depending on what else is done.. you need a piece of paper and a blue plate on everything now up here!

    i did this on both my sprinter and ke70, both of which were qld transport approved. i cut a square section of the firewall out and had a box welded into the hole, recessed firewalls are ok my engineer said as long as they don't interfere with any of the standard controls (heater, fanbox etc) in the case of the 20v you will lose your heater, i promised to get a marine 12v electric one that goes under the dash, never did though.

    you have to have a heater for demister, you could probably get away with one of the heated strip stick on ones, but then you'd probably get done for visual obstruction. if you are in brissy get in touch with Auto extra's at Herston he did all mine, just have a chat with him and see what he says.

    well I dotn know the laws for QLD but I know a few for vic, so heres a summary:

    Dori_Dori your screwed! I sujest borrowing a 4ac, get a RWC and then hooking up a heater again. I know an engeneer that I am sorting things out with and getting a proper certificate. Theres alot of work in it and it costs $600+, for those that dont know you also need a roadie when you get a cert here. Perhaps you should do a proper job on the ignition and weld the firewall back up.


    20v KE70: I think your idea of a marine 12V heater is ingenious, is there room for the standard blower housing and motor if the firewall is recessed.

    yeh i was gonna say i don't think it matters what state your in.. no heater = no RWC.. unless you know a really dodgey guy who likes getting fines when he gets cought..
