ADR 10 - Steering Column:

The function of this Australian Design Rule is to minimise crushing or penetrating injuries to drivers due to the 'Steering Column' as a result of frontal impact.

This what the engineer had to say,..,

Fibreglass front, removeable or otherwise, is acceptable on vehicles that
were not built to comply with ADR10.

so fingers crossed..

I'm confused...

What does ADR10, Steering columns and flip fronts have anything to do with an 850?

if you have seen project evil850 you will now see he is missing the front end..

if he does not comply with ADR10 then he is getting a full fibre glass flip front..

if it does have to comply with ADR 10, then do yourself a fav and put a decent front back on.... (a CLUBBY front)

No anton..... that would kill the reason i got evil.. I had to have one of each..

Correct me if I'm wrong (I know you're dying to), but weren't the ADRs first formulated in 1967 or 68? I'm pretty sure you're in the anything goes category

I think you are right mike.. but I have no idea.. waiting on someone to tell me.. lol

I hope I am good to go. or back to the drawing board for me

The other thing you need to make sure of is your insurance. RTA might say yes, but insurance companies will find ANY excuse to say no to you.



Does the ADR 10 also have anything to do with roll cages..? Or is that covered in another ADR category? Does anyone have a copy of the ADR..? They charge you like $70 if you want them... bastards. Is it any wonder no one understands...
