Side Repeaters

[Guest robin]

where abouts have people placed their side repeaters and passed sva?

 

i want to use oval ones and place them on the body sides rather than on the wings.

 

is this ok?

 

oh and the ones i bought don't have an e-mark but i noticed that the ones supplied in the kit don't either. possible fail?

 

any help much appreciated

Ours are positioned on the side of the car no problems with SVA, Im not sure if ours has an e mark either and they were supplied with the kit, I think he was only concerned about making sure we had no sharp edges.

 

Just been out to check No E marks

Mine passed with them on the side.

just need to be 350mm from the floor as per all other indicators, angles of visibility are relaxed for a lotus 7 style tapering body.

thanks for the replies chaps.

 

350mm from the floor. that sounds worrying for the front indicators i've just fitted.

 

i'd better go and check!

[Guest robin]

335mm from floor to bottom of lenses

 

365mm from floor to centre of lenses

 

can't check if this is correct as i can't find my pdf of the sva manual!

can you raise your ride height a little for the test?

SVA requirement is 350mm min to the lowest point on the lens from ground level. I mounted my side repeaters in the triangle of the windscreen support and passed SVA without comment

When you go for the SVA the examiner might try to do the viewing angles test. But there is a rule exempting lotus 7 style cars from the viewing angle test. Just make them check the manual.

 

We had an inspector checking our examiner. The inspector wanted to do the tests, he wouldn't beleive me about the lotus 7 rule until the examiner backed me up.
