Front Indicators

[st3v3nw]

What have people done to extend the front indicators for SVA?

 

This is my very last job now!

 

Cheers

The 2Bs where supplied with some metal strips ( about 3mm thick 25mm wide and 140mm long with a 10mm hole each end) which were bent into a flat U shape about 60mm long. These fit between to light and car, I fitted edge trim along the long edges and used pipe insulation to fill the void and taped over with black pvc tape to make it look better. The bolts for the inside will need to be drilled through to pass the wires through so get some cheap soft bolts from B&Q.

 

Good luck

Thanks for the tips. I'm going to go with the bent flat-bar method.

 

Oh, and my test is on 2nd April!

um maybe i was lucky but i passed SVA june 07 with the same indicators directly fitted to the nose cone with no extra extensions.

are they being more strict now? I guess IVA may be different, havent had a look at the manual yet.

Mine failed on front indicators. I had them on the widest part of the nose and it still wasn't enough.

They need to be max 400mm from the widest part of the car.

Mine also failed on the supplied lights from GBS on the zero.

These were not a max 400mm from the widest part of the car as the tester measured them from the lens not the side of the lamp.

I had to re-drill the hole in the chassis to move them over.
