Getting age related plate
What's needed to get age related plate. I've read "2 major parts". I'm only planning on using steering column, diff,
drive shafts, rear hubs, calipers.

The 'Built Up Vehicle Inspection Report' V627/1, list major components for a car as;
Chassis/Body Shell
Axles
Transmission
Steering Assembly
Engine
Suspension (front and back)
You only need to use 2 of the above from a donor vehicle to qualify for an age related plate and as the form is rather vague it is open to
interpretation.

I stand to be corected but thought there was a points bias towards engine and transmission, which made the BEC cars near the points limit.
I would be interested to know what the criteria is.

There is no points bias. I know of BEC's that have qualified for the age related plate of the donor motorbike, claiming engine and transmission
as the two major parts.

Direct quote from http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/BuyingAndSellingAVehicle/RegisteringAVehicle/DG_10014246
Kit Cars
Where all the parts of a vehicle are supplied new by the manufacturer. Subject to the provision of satisfactory receipts and a certificate of newness
these vehicles will be registered under a current registration mark.
Kit cars which have been built using not more than one reconditioned component will also be registered under a current mark. This is subject to the
provision of satisfactory evidence that the component has been reconditioned to an "as new" standard. An IVA, ESVA, SVA or MSVA test will
be required.
Kit Conversions
This is where a kit of new parts is added to an existing vehicle or old parts are added to a kit comprising a manufactured body, chassis or monocoque
bodyshell. The general appearance of the vehicle will change and result in a revised description on the registration certificate.
A vehicle will retain its donor registration mark if either the original unmodified chassis or unaltered monocoque bodyshell and two other major
components are used. If a new monocoque bodyshell or chassis from a specialist kit manufacturer is used (or an altered chassis or bodyshell from an
existing vehicle) together with two major components from a donor vehicle, an age related mark will be assigned. The mark will be based on the age of
the donor vehicle. An IVA, ESVA, SVA or MSVA test will be required to register the vehicle.
Where there are insufficient parts from a donor vehicle or in cases where the original registration mark is unknown, an IVA, ESVA, SVA or MSVA
certificate will be required to register the vehicle and a 'Q' prefix registration number will be allocated.

so yes - it would appear the points system has made an "exit stage left"

The points system I think you're referring to, is not and has never been applicable to kitcars............
