Hi
I know A-frames cannot be fitted because of the front impact rule.
But are the solomatic type allowed to be used in NZ?
Example link types below
Thanks

Hi there,
The rules external projections which include A frames can be found here. https://vehicleinspection.nzta.govt.nz/virms/in-service-wof-and-cof/general/vehicle-exterior/external-projections
You can see if the criteria of the A frame meets the wof standards.
