intrested to find out in detail about the ADR approvals/certificates mentioned. Can you provide us some details regarding this as this is the basis for the "legal" comment.

Yeah Sam I think you'd better clarify the legal status of these bonnets..

I know in Qld that there a few outfits who sell CF/Fibreglass bonnets with Queensland Transport approval, however this has zero value to someone not in the state, as they will need evidence of compliance with ADRs to satisfy the certifying engineers of that state.

my name i already on the list as a definate, and so far i am the only one written on the list.

everyone that has said "if theres enough people then i'll get it" should add their names to the list.

there has been a fair bit of interest with these so we should have 7 people by now.
