Well, its been seven weeks since the certifier got the bus, I've not heard anything from him recently; so today I rang him.
They've just got it back after a wheel alignment, (and the alignment was an issue with it not centreing,) but now it appears that the steering is binding.
I can't for the life of me think of anything that could cause that, and told him that if he thought it was to do with the twin steering boxes then to ring Willie Roach.
Willie knows of the bus, and he is 'The Man' in NZ for this type of thing.
(And I've known Willie and he's known me for over forty years...he's a local, an Opunake boy.)

The only other problem is an engineer's report on the seats.
I had contacted the manufacturer, Starfish Interiors, asking them to send him a copy (of a report,) but they haven't.
Bugger!
So I told Noel to contact them directly; and give them a rark-up.
Either send him a copy or get their engineer to do so...but ensure it's done!

Sigh.

So it's still not certified.

Frustrated?

Hell yeah!

(I might have to buy another container of ice cream!)
