Do you need to check emissions?

My tester also told me that because my boot had no cover , technicly it is also tested for sharp edges (there were none) as yours is an open design do you need to install a temporary engine cover for example?

I am going to put a 1" X 1" mesh over my engine.
I had to do it on the F1-2 as the tester said my engine had too many projections.
The atom has to do the same to pass and these bits disappear after the test!

Pre 95 engine, so no emissions - but I suspect I will need to cover the engine...

How "permanent" does this have to appear? I don't want to drill loads of mounting holes...

If you form a piece of steel band that wraps around your rails and clamps like on a bike exhaust box, then you will not have to drill your chassis.
That is what I am planning to do

Are tie wraps going to be obviously temporary?

That depends on your tester, but I would say not permenant, although you could argue as most cables are held permenantly, they might say that if you cut them for access, that they might not be able to be replaced if you are not carrying any.

Yes good point, perhaps if I cable tie some mounts to the chassis then screw the cover on - allthough that might look equally as "disposable", I'll just have to see what I can do...

Actually I think I can get away with 4 mounts, so maybe just rivet in some ally corner pieces, that way I just have to fill in 4 or 8 4mm holes...

James, take a look at a bike exhaust box clamp. It is a complete circle with two folded tags that a bolt can go through.
Make some to wrap around your rails and the bolt/tags will go through your mesh. No holes in your chassis required.

It's all little details at the moment, hoping to get some major components like the tank in this weekend...
