Cracking. Got enough dials there? Sure you could fit in a clock, engine running hours and fuel pressure gauges to fill the space! Roll on SVA. Are you going to make Newark?

Posting in the morning.

Very scary now I am so close, tow bar to be fitted to the Galaxy and hire, borrow, buy a trailer, take it to work for a shakedown on the runway.

My cousin is a lorry fitter and has access to VOSA calibrated rollers so may be able to get the brake balance and axle weights sorted.

Well done mate. I've just heard the weather forecast, it's going to rain everyday from now on

Good luck with the SVA

Tyres outside the arches could be a problem. I fitted these (passed SVA OK)

Tyres are fine, rims are inside so is the tread, checked with level.

Have a plane to carry some Car Builder Solutions stick on trim just incase

In your pics it looks like you have the older roll over bar. Is this okay for sva? i hope i'm wrong but i thought it had to be of thicker diameter.

i hope i'm wrong but i thought it had to be of thicker diameter.

I'd also heard that Baz but the only reference to it I can find in the SVA manual is in the seat belt anchorage section which I don’t think is applicable unless the tester thinks that the roll over bar

will provide strength and spread the loads effectively into the chassis.

 

Note: For guidance roll cages should ideally be

manufactured of CDS steel tube dia 45mm x

2.5mm wall thickness OR dia 50mm x 2.0mm

wall thickness. Bend radii should exceed 3 times

the tube diameter. Where tubes are ovalised

during bending, the ratio d/D should not be less

than 0.9 (d=small diameter, D=larger diameter).
