[Guest micky bigthumbs]

Although 3a failed or roy and dean..it was a good result for a 3a found in a field on its side. abandond project..

 

only small failures

self centering

indicators distance

seat belt anchorage into the 3a back bulkhead ..needs a plate

front wings to far back over the wheel...bend them forward

and the robin hood fuel pipe..hope enforcer has some details

 

i think they did well and they had a very reasonable examiner called mark who was very helpfull ..

If it's any help this was the documentary summary of the research I had to do to convince my Shrewsbury examiner (Stuart) that the RHSC supplied fuel tube was fit for purpose:

Thanks richard i got the gist of it just have to check the supplier was not changed from the time the original kit was supplied ( with the fuel pipe )

Hi ppl,

 

Thanks for the replying everybody and thanks to those who came round the other week! The bits have been completed (fingers crossed) and we are now going to contact Buxo Plas to have them send the spec over about the fuel pipe.

 

Hope you dont mind us using your document to support our Buxo Plas form Enforcer??

 

Then hopefully we will get the car re-tested asap while the weather is still on our side , and hopefully the wheels will self centre! My dad has made adjustments but has no where to test

 

Thanks everyone and we will let you know how we get on

 

[Guest robin]

thats a nice looking car. my sva examiner told me that the easiest way to get it to self centre without changing the castor is to set the wheels at slight toe out and let the front tyre pressures down to around 18psi. then set it up properly for good handlig afterwards!

seat belt anchorage into the 3a back bulkhead ..needs a plate

 

Hijacking the thread a bit but how big a plate was recomended, i am using the 1" x 2" plates for the rear bulkhead and have large plates under the floor for the inside mounts near the tunnel, is this enough?

[Guest stu205]

after the visit from me dgav and jetskijase they have decided to join the club

 

 

sent "The Boys" down did ya!

 

good result though bet there well chuffed

[Guest micky bigthumbs]

Paul i think they are 6" x 4" not welded but just like giant washers so as not to pull through the stainless...that is on the lower brackets

[series3]

Ok ppl, got the second SVA today and were armed with the letter from Robin Hood which the nice man forgot to write PSI next to the fuel pressure, so their might be a chance were coming home disappointed!

 

Fingers crossed everyone, and will update later

[Guest robin]

good luck and hopefully they will use some common sense and let you go on your way with mac in hand!

[series3]

Yipeeee!! The car flew through with the SVA so its now down to the DVLA to get the car on the road (legally)

 

Thanks to everyone who helped and to Micky for the trailer and to Mark for doing the test

[Guest micky bigthumbs]

Well done its a very nice car

[enforcer]

Glad to hear a bit of good news today

 

Fuel pipes ok then?
