Were talking about a LHD US import here not a locally produced thing
So yes 2 mirrors required as per the WA rules

http://www.dpi.wa.go...les/IB-106A.pdf

In order to satisfy these requirements it is recommended that the following work be carried
out prior to presenting the vehicle at an Examination Centre:
� Ensure the vehicle is roadworthy
� Headlamps must dip to the left, or meet ECE Specifications for right hand drive
vehicles
� Rear indicator lenses must be amber for vehicles manufactured after June 1973.
Prior to that date indicator lenses may be red.
� All vehicles must be fitted with two flat external side mirrors, one fitted on each side.

Dats,
you can apply to have the mirror issue waived if it will decrease the value/historical significance.
ie. you will lose points at concours as it has a non-std mirror fitted. that sorta crap.
If you are modifying the car then you'l have to do it.

I get on a plane to come home tomorrow
The shippers have the Cad
My import approval isn't here yet but I'll chase that up when I get home to make sure its all cool

Now I have to wait for it to arrive... then stick it under a cover for awhile till I can get the bits and pieces done so I can rego it
Like electrical (convert indicators to amber)
Needs an exhaust
Right hand mirror needs to go on
Swap headlights
etc

Could be wrong? aren't you guy's in WA able to have more than 6 digit number plates?

How about BEHEMOTH for a plate?

Hey Datto......does that make you a commodore?

[dattoman]

Cap'n mate.... just the cap'n

I'll probably go down with this ship

Its apparently on the boat and steaming this way

[dattoman]

Yes we can have plates of 8 and I think even 9 letters
But they cost alot more

Theres a couple of things in the boot
But its not loaded with too much interesting stuff
Some new front and rear shocks , car cover , box of licence plates , mirrors for the Cad
And some other lil things
