Shippers, you called me a wally, why is a tray different to a body?

What do you think a tray is?..

Its the pickup bed/optionally the bit that tips etc, yes, part of the body. So tell me why I can have one of them on a 130 chassis, but not a disco body, without IVA inspection etc

A tray back is not a pick-up/tipper its an off-road lightweight conversion...yes you can build what you want but you have to have it tested... LR special vehicles can build you what you want but can you afford it?...

Probably not, but if they can build it, without IVA having to inspect and issue s Q plate, then why cant I?
What I mean is, how will they do it differently to me? (Dont care about neat and tidy, of course theirs will be a better quality finnish etc, but surely if I copy what they would do, I dont need IVA either?)

For Christ sake on a chassis they developed and engineered and built in there factory...not you and your mate with a grinder a tape measure and a cheap mig machine...

By "engineering" what exactly do you mean? Does someone come and check their maths?
As I said, my mate is an engineer (in his 40s) with a degree in mechanical engineering, not just a pleb with a cutting disc on an angle grinder (thats me)

There are differences between a Q plate & a motor that’s been for an IVA.
I think he will eventually get onto the Gov.uk site and read it all up.
It's too long and complex for us to talk him through what he can read for himself.

I find it very hard to be abusive to teenagers, he is midway in age to my 6 grandchildren.
But there is a mighty difference between him and say Henry B! Although similar ages.

Yeh but he calmed down after he joined dont hear much from him these days..
He's engaged and trying to organise his wedding so that, apart from his family responsibilities, is quite a heavy weight on such young shoulders.

Thanks for that update he and I did cross swords when he joined will give him a pm...
I have no idea how he came to be in his position but I think I am right in saying that he is responsible for at least one younger sibling, on his own.
I find him knowledgeable and a good laugh.
Didn't he kick off "Top Totty"? Respect for that!
