In Victoria Australia, the rules changed a couple of years ago where a vehicle has to have an Engineers Certificate if modifications such as hydraulic brakes on a Seven have been carried out and the vehicle is to be registered, a change of ownership or Club Permitted.. Therin lies a problem as the Engineer has to put his reputation on the line and become liable if any event in the future relates to an accident where the modification is involved. Plus his costs of personal liability insurance, so it can all easily get out of hand. It seems NZ has really gone over the top with their rules, I hope our mob does'nt want to copy them. BTW we have a culture with Insurance Companies here that when a claim is made they go through all the loopholes they can exploit right at the start.
