camera doctor 25 Report post Posted June 20, 2014 Any WOF inspectors on here ? - Glenn ?? I have bought an old Tandem Axle Salvage Trailer for use with my race Car. It has never had lighting fitted, so I need to do that to get it up to WOF standard. The deck tilts for loading, so the only 'easy' place to put the lights on, are the mudguards. I have spent some time on the LTSA website and other forums etc trying to get a straight answer as to if that is legal / WOF fail ? Can anybody verify / point me to diagrams / legislation regarding this. If I need to have the lights at the end of the trailer, I'll have to weld on some plates or something to hold them. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aja540i 1906 Report post Posted June 20, 2014 They need to be at the back, i have modified several trailers that failed wof because the lights were on the mudguards. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
