I spoke to a "certified" engineer, he was talking about special checks if you upgrade master cylinder and calipers on new disc brakes , if you use the standard calipers and original master then there is no need.
That makes sense, if you add anything that isn't factory standard that component has to pass engineering as well as your car as a whole unit.
Many aftermarket braking systems will have some certification and designed to fit certain cars but if you're doing something experimental and adding brakes from say a Chrysler onto a Mustang there's nothing to say these components will work so an engineer has to check it out to see if it's structurally sound, this is one thing, then they do braking tests, etc. to see if your car passes stopping distances, etc.
Has anyone ever seen a clear list of what a 1968 Mustang should comply with in order to pass inspection and get a registration in NSW ??
I am referring to a list that outlines each part from direction of headlights to seatbelts to brakes etc.
I don't think you'll find one, it seems to work on a per vehicle basis as the mods you do would be unique to your car.
Changing the headlights is a given but then there's rules that fit categories, i.e. if you upgrade some components on a pre 1972 vehicle then you have to change seat belts so it complies with 1972 ADR's.
My guess is if you do a RHD conversion you open up a whole new kettle of fish.
