Hello,

Please can you help?

I own a 1999 GMC Bluebird school bus I imported from America to
here in Staffordshire in th U.K. in 2008 and am looking to obtain info on it for VOSA. (VOSA is the UK version of the DMV)

Copy and paste the link below for a picture of the model.

It's the half length hydraulic brakes version with power lift for wheelchair access.

VOSA need the following info:

brake system directive. to what U.S. standard/directive/compliance
document were the brakes built to when the vehicle was manufactured?

Please view my website www.thebigyellowbus.co.uk (the bus in question
is not the one on the home page, that was a model we were using from
before the project began. click on the gallery and you will see it) and you
will see what may never come to fruition, as without the required
field of information, VOSA (DMV) will refuse the applicable certificate to
carry passengers. I have been working for 3 years on this project and spent
a lot of money. Heartbreak would not begin to explain how I would feel if
this were to happen.

I have tried to no avail getting this info from the manufacturers but feel confident someone in this forum will out think the manufacturers themselves and come up with the goods.

Thanks guys,

Craig - Proud U.K. Blue Bird Owner.

Check the bulkhead panel door just inside passenger door. There should be several data plates. Providing the information there will assist in getting a correct answer.
