Welding certificate...

If you are going to scratch build or modify any vehicle, get the certifier involved when it is but a twinkle in yer eye. He'll be able to tell ya the lowdown on all the requirements.

There are some tighter rules on steering components, but in general to weld on a frame or chassis & get a cert you either have to hold a ticket - As noted 4711 is not quite relevant but it'll keep 'em happy and ain't too hard to get, OR you can be deemed an approved person by the certifier after they have seen some of your work.

With welding,experiance is the key - which is really what 4711 does....you couldn't come out of a classroom and pass 4711.Welding is kind of an artform,you develope feel,you ''know'' when you have done a good weld,when to push here or go easy there....you don't learn that stuff in a classroon enviroment.Once you have filled a skip bin with your welding of various types in different materials and thicknesses etc you'll be a ''pretty good'' welder.Then you can make your frame.
