theDreamer Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Too bad your car doesn't have a heated windshield as that would be your defroster. I had heard, (although I have no actual knowledge of) that carrying anti fog products had worked here in Canada, years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cboulderer Posted March 5 Author Share Posted March 5 Just called them about the padded dash. “Given the year our cars replicate, an unpadded should not be a problem.” ” If padding is applied, the quality/thickness is not tested.” “Padded visors are required during inspection.” 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need for padded visors then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vovchandr Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 (edited) I appreciate the legwork being done on this matter. I will hold off on my submission until a few things get sorted out. I'll stay with my registration as is for a little while longer. Did you guys write down the DOT numbers? My headlights are now LED and I dont think they have proper markings. My defroster isn't connected and my windshield is usually not on and aeroscreen is on 99% of the time. Definitely don't have any bumpers or visors. Maybe they will take aeroscreen if you have a helmet? Edited March 5 by Vovchandr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you say that “Caterham Sevens replicate the old Lotus sevens?” or did they mention it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windscreen seemed to be a must. I did not ask about the windscreen specifically, but he mentioned that it would be checked. Regarding the Lotus seven- I mentioned the title having them make as 57 Lotus 57. The gentleman I spoke with on the phone later referenced this as the “vehicle you were attempting to replicate“ The folks at the inspection office I spoke with all, seem to be generally familiar with the Caterhams.

I just realized that I ordered with a full weather kit, so the defroster should be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arahant Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 (edited) Hi all, I had a question about SAE markings on lens. Thanks Edited March 24 by Arahant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBuff Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Very interested in this one as I am a couple weeks behind you in the process with New York. Just sent in my mv272.1 for a field inspection appointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlakeJ Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Check the Factory Five forums (maybe archived material) for those numbers. In 2017/18, they were there, if memory serves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBuff Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 This was from 10 years ago. I am waiting on Greg to weigh in and see what markings are on my car (it’s still with him upstate) https://www.ffcars.com/threads/nys-registration-process.221630/page-2?nested_view=1&sortby=oldest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark IV Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Suggest that the DOT markings and inspection conversation be taken offline. I can answer several of the questions raised, rick@autoventureusa.net As some may be aware, I was the owner of Time Machines Motorsports that is now operated by Greg. FYI, the California DMV and tax department monitored Club Cobra some years ago and people bragging about the "phony receipts" that they used at the DMV, got a visit from the CHP and a warrant. Don't be that guy. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
