12mm overlap or whatever it is called. body mounts need to be close to the back not miles away. common sense needs to be used with most, just some finicke little things to talk to people about.

YES, confirmend.

All you need is the easy mod plate that most Mod Plate certified examiners can do.

There is 2 levels of Mod platess in QLD, stuff that has been done 500 times in the past, like yours, LOW LEVEL.

The more rare stuff that hasn't been done in the engineering field that requires a bulliten to be put out by the DOT for it to become LOW LEVEL. This type is like when you want to do something like bend a front suspension component that requires technical engineering test data.
