Don't bugger around just get the Kaymar spacer and be done with it.

I've got a set of these on order from Andrew AKA amts... about half way down the page... He sells them with the right length bolts and washers. Should have them soon - in the meantime it's three old brake pads [crosses fingers]. Should've probably asked him for discount for the extra plug... :wink:

Had a look at the Kaymar one too though, but I've got no need for a work light mount - got a fluoro for that.

I would not fit them without getting an insurance certification (In writing) or an engineers certificate and plate (See existing threads on doing this).

An insurance cetification - whether in writing or not - will not prevent the insurer from refusing to pay out on a claim. It is simply them 'noting' that the yres are not standard. The clause requiring the owner to keep their vehicle in a roadworthy condition will still apply.

If the tyres are above the legal limit, the vehicle is unroadworthy regardless of what any insurer writes for you, and they will still use that against you if you try to make a claim big enough for them to investigate in detail.

Re the NCOP, I have had extensive communications with the Technical Standards manager at the RTA, and they are a long way from ratifying the NCOP.
