This section off the ACE website is probably most pertinent to Sammio builoders looking at the rear of the chassis and lowered floor plans. Quoted from DVLA:
It is NOT allowable to shorten the main chassis construction in any way ,even past suspension mounting areas ,for example, ‘Bobtailing’ of Land Rovers.
Both of these modifications would lead to the loss of the chassis ‘Identity’ and, therefore, it’s 5 points.
Primarily, the replacement body should be modified to fit the chassis structure rather than the other way round.
If additional floor supports are required, for example, these should form part of the body and bolt to bodymounts, of the type mentioned above, on the chassis.
