First Time Pass At Nottingham


Recommended Posts

With lots of sleepless nights, blood,sweat and tears over last year and 1 month my Zero passed at Nottingham this morning,

 

I have to thank all the guys on the forum for their advise and input through the whole build, But special thanks goes to Nick(shaft) Dad(GDC) and uncle Kev(qwerty) sometimes not for their mechanical or technical skills but just for being on the end of a phone/chat room ot help.

 

There was only a couple of bits that needed modification which Martin(inspector) gave very advise about and gave me the time to rectify them,

The first(ironically) was my JCB headlights which were bound to be IVA proof,,,,,NOT SO!!! As the indicator emmits light to the side/rear it is classed as a side repeater, However not far enough out to be a real one, And two side repeaters are not aloud, I had to take the lamp apart and black the inside of the lens so no orange light would show from rear view,

 

The second which may be of interest to others was the rear of the front brake caliper, Where the brake line goes into the caliper a sharp edge can be found, you can either blunt the edge or stick some rubber onto it, I hadn;t fitted any kind of cover to the back of the wheel, so other than the sharp edge everything else is ok,

 

Here's a few pics

Overall a really good experience, And a very very special thankyou to Nick(shaft) for his families hospitality and holding my hand today.x

 

On my way back home I payed a visit to DVLA, So all paperwork has been handed in and now just have to wait for the postie!!!!

 

Cheers

Dave
