Default Engineering Approvals. Recommendations?

Hi All,

I realize there is a list of certified Engineers published by the DOT. However some are more focused on car modifications than others.

Given the experience here can anyone make recommendations on people you have had a positive experience with.

In my case, looking for SOR. Others may benefit from NOR contacts too though.

Cheers.

I used a guy based in Willetton a couple of years ago, he was excellent but can't remember his name, he was on their list.

I used Jack Apgar previously to engineer two of my cars and has never let me down.

Possibly Terry Southam & Associates?



Found this relating to Solid Rocket Engineering.

Think I'll give that one a miss.

Yeah the name sounds familiar and there can't be too many in Willetton, he was down the back of a block of units.

Terry Southam. Highly recommended. Collecting Engineering report next week.
All mechanical, emissions and noise tests passed. Winning!

Garage 101 (Danny Fisher) for emissions tests. Also recommended.

Yep. Spot on. Very straight forward guy, no messing around and more than willing to point you in the right direction.
