i have had a inspection at vic roads head orifice and they are calling for me to put the std shackles in or get a engineer cert. for them.

Put standard shackles back on and take it back to vicroads.

Engineers will be reluctant to pass extended shackles.

A cert normally runs upwards of $700 depending on what the engineer has to do.

I got my roll cage, seats and wheels engineer certified for $240 in NSW. I think you'll have trouble finding an engineer who will pass extended shackles though....

Our club members don't seem to have problems finding engineers bogged, the big stumbling block is larger tyres.

I can't ever engineer the tyres I want on my car but might want the engine, chassis work etc certed. This doesn't seem a problem.

Some engineers in Vic have had lots of scrutiny from Vicroads for certing stuff they shouldn't - that might be some of the reason why some engineers don't like them.
