I have a swb vitara and got done by cops for no modplate for body lift. I searched around but it's mostly before the new laws, the cop told me all I need to do is get blue plate and take paper work to dot and not have to go over pits. How would I get modplate approved do they simply write it out after checking it's safe or will it need to be put through tests. Cheers

You just need to get an approved person to inspect and fit the blue plate.

Price depends on who you use, about $100 - $150. As the body lift is pretty simple there's not much to check, might just check size of the block matches the body rubber and the fasteners are high tensile.

Ok cheers, just checked over it and found front left was loose. Pulled headlight out to tighten it and it's snapped flush with chassis. What is best way to get it out

How much thread is in the other side?

If it's long enough, get two locknuts tightened against each other or weld a nut to it and take it out from underneath.

Can you get a drill to it?

It is actually a tad down in the hole so no chance of grabbing it and the body is in the way to use a drill otherwise I'd use easy outs Have no idea how to pull it out

Not sure on the vits, can you get to it from underneath?

pretty sure you can access it from underneath... well you can on a SV vitara. :wink:

Only suggestion would be a pneumatic right angle drill or one of attachments for a power drill and get it from the top

Its a nasty problem. The way I've seen it done is to cut a flap out of the side of the chassis, weld a new nut in place and then weld the flap back up.

i had this happen with mine but it happened the 2nd back from the front on the drivers side (under pedals) had to cut a hole in the floor and cut the bolt out and weld in a new one. Shit house job.

The fixed studs can be very problematic if they let go
