Mod Description
6. Fitting dual or multi-piston brake callipers to original front disc rotors in place of original
single- or multi-piston brake callipers The new dual- or multi-piston brake callipers are fitted
with or without adapting brackets.
7 Fitting disc brakes to the front of a vehicle without using brake calliper adapting brackets.
Fitting larger-diameter drum brakes to the front of a vehicle.
8 Fitting disc brakes to the front of a vehicle with brake calliper adapting brackets.
9 Fitting disc brakes to the rear of a vehicle without using brake calliper adapting brackets.
Fitting larger-diameter drum brakes to the rear of a vehicle.
10 Fitting disc brakes to the rear of a vehicle with brake calliper adapting brackets.
11 Fitting larger-diameter brake disc to the front of a vehicle with existing or replacement brake
callipers to suit the larger disc diameter.
12 Fitting larger-diameter brake discs to the rear of the vehicle with existing or replacement
brake callipers to suit the larger disc diameter.
13 Fitting replacement front suspension and brakes from a vehicle of a different make and
model with or without modification to the replacement suspension.
Modification to original suspension.
Modification to original suspension mountings.
14 Fitting replacement rear suspension and brakes from a vehicle of a different make and
model with or without modification to the replacement suspension.
Modification to original suspension.
Modification to original suspension mountings.
15 Replacement of the original vehicle rear axle assembly and brakes with a different rear axle
assembly and brakes or with brakes from a different make and model and/or aftermarket
brake components.
Typical example: Ford 9” differential. If original vehicle brakes retained, spike stop
procedure only.
16 Replacing the entire braking system with a combination of components either from a
production vehicle or an after-market brake component manufacturer.
17 ICV with a combination of production car brake components and/or after-market brake
components.
18 ICV with brake system components from a 31/01 complying vehicle and having less mass
than the donor vehicle. The components shall comprise, at least, rotors, callipers, master
cylinder, booster and park brake mechanism. Retention of the donor vehicle hand brake
lever is not compulsory. Additional components such as a proportioning valve may be fitted
to obtain a balanced brake performance. ABS and/or EBS from the donor vehicle shall not
be used.
19 Fitting hydraulic brakes to a vehicle that may have had an un-braked axle or cable-operated
brakes and no other modifications to the vehicle either current or future. Future
modifications would then be subjected to test item 16.
20 Change in the mass on the axles by 10% or more and brakes unchanged from those fitted
and tested prior to the mass change. Note: A change in engine up to 10% greater mass
does not require testing.
NB The manufacturer’s specified axle limits must not be exceeded without approval
of the vehicle manufacturer or the axle manufacturer.
21 Engine having an increase in power in excess of 20% greater than that offered by the
vehicle manufacturer for that model, or from a previously certified modification, that results
in increased rate of acceleration or maximum speed, where the maximum speed of the
original vehicle was less than 200km/h, and the brakes are unchanged from those fitted and
tested prior to the engine change.
