COMMENTS FOR SVA SUITABILITY ON PICS PLEASE!!!!
So then, it’s looking good but could do with some professional opinions!! Does anyone have any constructive criticism as regards suitability for SVA
in the pictures through the link below:
http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/photos.php?action=gal&user=hardtoregister&folder=root
I have purposely not hired a catalyst to reduce cost of having to re hire it for the retest, so I know its going to fail on emissions but I haven’t
had the time to set up the Digi dash, will they still see the car even though it doesn’t read mph, gears???

the exhaust heat shield? IIRC you need one...
and also if the car has a reverse gear, doesnt it need the reversing light too?

I reckon the mirrors may be a little low to get required fields of view..
Steve,

have you still got 2 security devices with the push start?
is the padding on the wing mirrors perminant enough?
correct radius on top of shifter?
radius on the exhaust clamps/brackets?
Looking good though!

What's the height of the rear lights? They look a tad low.
How have you fixed the pipe lagging around the bottom of the scuttle?

Mine got through without a heat shield, but you may need to do something with the edges on the silencer.
Reversing light not required for SVA.
I'm assuming from your comments in your original post that you are going to have the car SVA'd knowing that it will fail. SVA inspectors
don't like it when it's obvious that you've done that.

Neither a heatsheild on the exhaust or a reversing light is a requirement of sva or MOT.
The only requirement is that if they ARE fitted that they comply with the radius ,projections, correct position and that they work.

I heard that bald tyres are ok for SVA
So long as they meet the speed rating.

Hi
I see the following possible issues
1. Front flexi's might need a sheathing on them.
2. Exhaust clamps/Can might fail on sharp edges.
3. Dash bottom might fail if the lagging is not glued on, wont be classed as permanent.
4. Top shock mounts on chassis : possible sharp edges.
5. As said check all your light heights and spacing some look a bit iffy.
6. Side mirrors look too low : fail on field of vision (or lack of)
7. Check you have two methods of anti theft device(s).
8. O/S/F tyre might get a comment on being nearly like a banana skin on the inner edge.
9. Make sure you have warning lamps for the following:
Main beam
Indicators
Fog light
H/brake/low fluid light (must have the "(!)" symbol on it)
10. If you have a reverse lamp fitted it must either be turned off automatically when you come out of reverse (like car gearboxes do) other wise if a
reverse lamp is fitted the switch must operate a warning lamp for it.
Check your light using the pics below
just a query but shouldn't all measurements for the lights be to the centre line of the light.
Tis what it show's in the manual
Cheers

Almost all documentation I've seen/used regarding lights is almost allways worded " to the edge of the light emitting surface "
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

That's where my tester said it was too.
Any blanking to raise the lit surface would have to be internal to the light so that it appeared to be permanent
