Re: NOT GIVING UP
its not on the eNatis system, Get data dots, a new vin stamped and get it registered. Yes its a bit of a pain, and takes time, But hey then you have legal bus back on the road.
My bus was deregistered, I was lucky enough to know somebody in the department that helped streamline the porcess, all above board, new vin stamped, data dots, weigh bridge COR and BAMM registered bus

Re: NOT GIVING UP
Just go to your local municipal roadworthy centre. They charge R150 compared to Dekra's hideous R450 if I recall correctly. The requirements in SA for roadworthy is the utmost basics. I really don't understand the fear of roadworthy centre's.

Re: NOT GIVING UP
Thanks guys just to let you all know I would not do anything that is illegal or put my family in danger of being pulled over and being harassed thats why I have not just done it.I value all the opinions and yes my ideas have changed.
1.Sell all and by a bus that is done
2.Get the low light registered and sell the high light as I got two 2l engines with it but yes I stripped them.Fit the 1700 and 3 fin gearbox into low light
I did get invoices for the busses and engines as it was a garage clean out that was a buddies dad.

@Sean
I assume you're using the Brackenfell Traffic Dept as an example? I recall you don't get a free re-test within two weeks.

Re: NOT GIVING UP
Yes, I use the local Brackenfell one. You definitely don't have to pay for a re-test. They have never charged for it.

Re: NOT GIVING UP
I DON'T WANT TO START A HUGE BUNFIGHT AGAIN, BUT IF I TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION WHAT IT COST ME TO GET MY BUS TO THE CONDITION IT'S IN AND THE TIME IT TOOK, AND I READ ABOUT WHAT BRUCET HAS DONE WITH HIS BUS (MY BUSS'S TWIN); I DOUBT VERY MUCH THAT YOU WILL GET ANYWHERE CLOSE TO THE AMOUNT OF MONEY YOU'LL NEED FOR A RECONNED BUS BY SELLING YOUR 2 SHELLS.
I ALSO DON'T BELIEVE YOU'LL GET THE SAME SATISFACTION AS YOU GET FROM THE EXPERIENCE OF PUTTING A BUS BACK ON THE ROAD YOURSELF.

Re: NOT GIVING UP
I DO HAVE A FEW SHELLS THAT NEED ATTENTION BUT UNFORTUNATELY NOT ENOUGH TIME OR MONEY TO MAKE MUCH HAPPEN AT THE MOMENT.

Re: NOT GIVING UP
Sorry Bruce, I think I misunderstood your question then. Since the topic was regarding swapping vin plates and incorrect number plates, I assumed you were looking for a roadworthy center that would assist you to pass it; at a fee......brucet wrote: ↑Thu Jul 20, 2017 1:07 pm

Re: NOT GIVING UP
Just remember, the 1700, 1800 and 2000L will not fit into a low light as standard. You would need quite some hideous modification to make it fit.Vintage man wrote: ↑Thu Jul 20, 2017 2:27 pm

Re: NOT GIVING UP
Sean the low light has a 1700 in it with a 3 fin gearbox .i also got with this package deal a twin port 1600 engine that is fully rebuilt it also looks like to my little knowledge that it's a Komi motor as the 3 holes are there for the engine brace so maybe that was the motor in it.this was a job lot as I got bell housings ,starters extra with a bunch of parts that I have not gone through yet.the 1600 starts first kick ,no smoke a puuurrs like a kitten.the 1700 is going to dub as soon as I can get it there as that's the motor I want to use,just needs correct tuning of carbs.
