Stuart, That is some very pretty tail, as our Yankee cousins might say! However It seems from responses (on this forum) to you posting, that some of this is not really legal - in fact completely illegal!
Pleased to hear that you fitted side clearance lights and reflectors. These items ARE now a legal requirement throughout Australia. In passing, please note that I heartly endorse these particular requirements. Apart from the obvious safety aspect, I can assure you that when you have outlanded in deepest woop-woop (which is somewhere just beyond the black stump), you cannot mistake the imminent arrival of YOUR car and trailer, as opposed to the false alarm generated by the passage of the only other two other vehicles (possibly a horse and cart, or more likely a tractor passing your way, in the 3/5/10 hours that have elapsed since you outlanded. Is that a rego label I see on the back just to the right of the number plate? If so It is highly likely that it is not in the correct position: front LHS is usual. Suggest that you review the current guidelines on this matter. Ron, the diagonal marking tape you want should be available from any 3M outlet: The trick is to get a metre or two, rather than a 50 or 100 metre/yard roll. Ring your local distributer and ask them who in the area has bought a roll or two, get their contact details, and then give them a call and ask if they will sell you a bit. Safety equipment outlets might be another possibility to try.

Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] QLD trailer markings Guys, I did my trailer up last year - the signs are from a truck/bus supplier; even the big "Long Vehicle" sign was just $40.00, and before someone comments that I don't have side lights or reflectors, it did before the job was completed. The most expensive item was the LED high centre brake light and the paint J SDF From: aus-soaring-boun...@lists.internode.on.net [mailto:aus-soaring-boun...@lists.internode.on.net] On Behalf Of Ron Sanders Sent: Saturday, 3 August 2013 1:41 PM To: Discussion of issues relating to Soaring in Australia. Subject: [Aus-soaring] QLD trailer markings Guys Pam Kurstjens some time back kindly reminded all owners of Qld registered trailer about new requirements for "do not overtake" type markings. Can anyone put me onto a place where I can get these signs please?? I have searched three shops in WA and can only get the printed "do not overtake" signs. I am after the symbol signs for this in 300 x 300, not the usual 400 x 400, and also the horizontal diagonal striping sticker??? Thanks, Ron.
