Hi all,

I think I completed my "do's" on my "to do" list.

 

All unsuitable fastners removed and replaced

Sorted radiused edge on rear of silencer

Packed out rear of fog lamp so it's now rigid

Fitted a 2nd O ring around fuel filler

Stuck some big plates inside nosecone to stop indicators vibrating

Put my 1st attempt at a battery strap on (Webbing belt)

Bent and fitted some flat bar to underside of bonnet, bolted through mirror mount then liberal use of araldite

Welded retainer in exhaust and packed with stainless pan scourers (before "silencer")

Fitted new discs and pads, and bled with pressure bleed kit

Longer bolts fitted to upper seat belt mounts, with washers

 

Also I seam to have lost 2 of the three bolts holding the gear-stick in!!!! I thought it was a bit strange changing gear. Replaced and fitted locking washers.

 

Can't wait for Thursday's re-test now

Good luck. It seems like you've got everthing covered.

Far too organised - sorted with days to go - what no burning the midnight oil the night before

 

Good luck on the retest - hopefully a 15 minute job..........

best of luck mate. Give me a shout when you go to register it, as you know i'm only down the road from the shef dvla office.

[nicko]

Well, I was given the bad news today..... no more visits to the SVA place!!!!

 

And the nice man (Mick) gave me a Ministers Approval Certificate.

 

Visited GBS on the way home to pick up a windscreen pillar. I found I had a 2mm thick 1 and a 3mm thick 1!!!! Richard did me a straight swap (another nice man).

 

DVLA man says paperwork and build up inspection in next 2 weeks (He says he can come to my house to do build up on his way home)

 

All in all, a good day

 

Nick

 

P.S. thanks to Phil for turning up at Derby for moral support.

What a bummer, no more visits to VOSA!! Nice one. You'll soon be like me (registered 18/5), looking out of the window every morning to see if the weather is good enough to use the Hood!- it's bloody marvellous.
