Sorry Kev, but 
".....Cal-trac type bars are legal so long as you retain 100mm of ground clearance under them......."
What's that all about?
And that's nothing.....
Q. "I'm fitting late model seats to my ute, its factory 2 seater and I'm fitting them to the original Chrysler runners and therefore using the original mounting holes in the floor, do I still need to get them complianced, ie; a mod plate even though I'm not changing the seating capacity or mounting points?"
A. ".....what your doing sounds very simple but is a good example of how the legislation can bring you unstuck.
To break the situation down the mounting holes in the vehicle structure are unchanged and therefore remain within the guidelines. You are also using the original seat runners (which is always a good idea) so again no problems there. My immediate concern is to the size of the seat your fitting and how it will affect weight distribution on the original runners.
It may sound like I'm getting overeager but bear with me on this one. If the new seat overhangs the factory runners you change the weight distribution of the human torso on the seat, and could find yourself outside design parameters of the vehicle with potential for serious injury during an accident (heaven forbid it happens). Consequently the new seats will need to undergo a full inspection and once approved the vehicle will require a modification plate to be fitted."
As you say Kev - we dont know how lucky we are

Its that sort of anally retentive approach that allowed our industry to be throttled by Health & Safety snipers.

16 year old kids dieing in horrible fireballs on deserted backroads after a gutload of grog is the issue
or pileing through town after a sprinkling of rain and stacking it bigstyle into the nearest granny
the "ROAD TOLL" for each state is a set of statistics about acciendts and deaths on the road
after each bank holiday it appears that the whole of OZ eagerly awaits this grusome figure in the same way we anticpate the grand national results the football scores or the boat race.
we talk about the weather
they talk about irresponsible driving and the death and distruction on the roads
its a national concern and as is necessary when something causes unrest amongst the masses both local and national govrnment have over the last 30 years reponded dutifully by tieing everyone up in red tape that is different for every state.
granted there are more people killed and injured in london on the roads in 1 week than the whole of queensland can muster in a month but if you life is unhinderd by terrorisim hoodies and knife crime
road death dehydration of daft poms that get lost in the bush and shark attacks take up that space.
rant about it enough and the governement suddenly has to do somthing in order to stay in power
i will reduce the road toll seems to have been popular a politicians cry in all aussie states apart from NT where they just don't give a Bananarama!
to really get a feel for this
register on the hemi6pack forum and look for the 1000 page post titled "tails from the tilt tray"
its a blog by a bloke who does salvage and accident recovery complete with pictures of the mangled wrecks
its one of the most popular threads and is filled with pearls of wisdom regarding the stupidiy of youth and how to reduce the ROAD TOLL

" Drink and Drive your're a Bloody Idiot"
Catchy
ROAD TOLL OZ = credit crunch, house price slump, illegal imigrants UK we and our respected Press get in a tissy in just the same way

The Greater Knapweed near the Mugwort by the Buckthorn tree is dying
family cars(i.e the kids drive them as well) 5 litre, big torque, tyres designed to survive mainly concrete road surface or uncapped tracks. i.e more like plastic than rubber
mainly automatic gearboxes
no rain for weeks fuel spills rubber and brake dust
an attitude that says nail it whatever the weather
then rain = chaos
when it rained in syndey i could see 10 minor crashes in an afternoon the place turned into a skating rink. i just avoided going out
and my aussie tyres do not like wet tarmac over here. even with my small motor and hairdresser gears its as though they hover above the road surface.
i ended up facing the wrong way halfway round hammersmith broadway and i wasn't doing nuffin, honest officer.
