your pretty much on the right track there damo

i think that if you do have everything engineered and then get picked on

then the inspection fee should be waived and you would therefore be compensated for your troubles

That happened to me some years ago. Two motorcycle cops defected my old 200B which had a few mods, but was engineered ground up. Cops went over the entire vehicle, but everything they had the problem with was on the certificate and was clearly done professionally. They argued I could have modified it further. I said "why would I when I've locked in the existing mods as being safe and meeting ADRs on the engineers certificate". They ended up doing me for tyres. The tyres were 95% new, but I had to go to Regency anyway :D

I drove to my local cop shop (Sturt) and got a senior cop out to check my car out and hear my complaint. After a bit of an argument over the phone to the Holden Hill station (where the motorcycle cops were based) he promptly removed the defect and didn't charge me for it. It was still an inconvenience tho.

Which is why I've been arguing that police need proper training on what is defectable and what is not ... and understand the true value an engineers certificate has.
