Number plate in center of spare wheel of the tailgate
« on: February 26, 2011, 09:35:47 PM »
Is there any legality issues  against putting your number plate and light in the center of the spare wheel that hangs of the tailgate . i am not happy with the location of where mine is on my CT. i dont think there any issues but need to ask the question anyway .

I hope not because that is where mine is on my Kamar rear bar on the Tug.  I assume that if they can sell them like that for a car it would be OK on a CT.

Pretty sure its OK.  Mine is there and Prick Roads registered it no problems. Its on a bit of an extension to make it sit out from the wheel.  Not sure if that's important.

Yeah that's what i gathered but you dont know if you dont ask. i have only just finished building my CT and got it registered yesterday and because of the size tire's i am running the number plate isn't in the best place ha ha. hence why i think i might have to move it to the spare wheel.

Where it is is fine,it is clearly visable and seems to be tucked up out of the way.If it ain't broke don't fix it.

Can you see it clearly from Behind? - Yes

Can you see it from a 45 degree angle - Yes

Leave it where it is.

Can you move it to above the tail light?

Nice painted wheels :)

Yeah it looks deceiving in the photos so i got another one standing straight up and 5 meters away from the camper. if i end up moving it i reckon the center of the wheel would look all rite , if not the left side wing.

Lifestyle have theirs in the center of the spare wheel when attached to the tailgate.

I don't believe you would have any issues. The Lifestyle ones are mounted on a towbar reciever type bracket.

Hope this helps.

Cheers Rod.... 8) :cheers:

Yeah, no good where it is!

It needs to be visible from 45degrees to the sides and from the top.(and for 20m back).

Put it in the centre with a light and you'll be right.
