Wiper requirements for Connecticut dmv inspection

[Badfish]

Hey. Interesting on their position on kit vs replica at the inspection lane. Seems like they are conflating the two.

Either way, without the classic plate, my wallet is still exposed.

Factory Five applied several years ago to be a ‘replica’ manufacturer, I think it went stale. Interesting to still it active again.

Hi Jay,
I am not sure of the name of the new law. I am only reporting what was told to me by the head inspector when I attempted to get my car inspected a week and a half ago. I was told this new law went into effect on January 1st. And if you click on the link in my previous post you will see on the DMV website that it clearly states what you and I already knew, our cars are not eligible for antique plates.

Skyflyer-sorry to hijack your thread, but I wanted to get this info to you so that you don't waist your time and money looking for a temporary wiper solution to get you through inspection. Unless something changes between now and when FFR is listed on NHSTA, they won't inspect you even if you wanted them to.

The DMV supervisor in the Inspection lane told me they will not inspect Factory Five's because they applied to be on the NHSTA's list of replica manufacturers and their application is still pending. If Factory Five refused to complete their application with the NHSTA then no Factory Five vehicle going forward could be registered in CT. Fortunately, Dave Smith was great and told me he would expedite the completion of their application. The whole thing makes no sense but this is what I was told after waiting in the inspection lane for 3 hours a couple of weeks ago.

That would be wild…
