Graham Hope to go to Newark as have permission from wife just retest and DVLA to get through. by the way are there any speed humps that way as the tester had to measure my clearance to get on the brake rollers (7cm floor to sump and thats not the lowest part of the car ) Ian Have not done the mods as grahams went for angled steel & thick plate . Will try to post pics later. Piddy My sister lives down that way and can't wait for a spin in it, so will try to combine the two.

looks great Guy some great back roads around Cambridge to poodle down Very jelous as I only live two miles from the test station didnt get the full benifit of the sunny weather

Just Returned from my SVA and the very nice man said it failed Emmisions to high ( 4.1 over max 3.5) Handbrake lever to close to tunnel (had to ditch the dash pull as I couldn't get enough leveridge) Mirrors too low Told you he was a nice man Should all be sorted in a week. Boy it's fun

Well done I can see I've a bit of catching up to do.

Thats what richard told me yesterday, so I've told VOSA those wieghts and sent of my reciepts and photo proof and now wait for my test date

Recieved my Amateur Built Declaration today and was a bit puzzled by the first paragraph. Quote "We have recieved an application for a Minister's Approval Certificate(a Single Vehicle Approval examination)for your vehicle. Please will you confirm the design axle weights and design GVW of the kit car when completing and returning by post the following declaration to confirm the class as the weight quoted on the apllication are rather low. the design weight should include the driver, passenger/s, full tank of petrol and personal luggage?" I had put down 340kg front 330kg rear 670kg gross and it is called a Lightweight is my guessing that far out p.s. Personal luggage?. 1/2 dozen helium ballons do

the RAC do a vehicle check here or pop into your local motor factors and ask them to do a vrm check if your only after a chassis and engine number. or try dvla here

same donor as mine so much fun chopping it up and keep and lable everything.

I also didn't like the hand brake down the passangers side so I've done this brolly handle brake from a Mazda pickup.(bottom right) not passed the sva yet but very easy to reach and apply.

found some inserts to fit with 10MM bolts (all 8.8 marked) all swivels well. thanks everyone

the bolts came with the seat belts. may replace them with 8.8 stamped bolts as i dont like the idea of filing the holes in the belts out.

now fitting the seat belt harnesses and the bolts that came with the belts are just the right size for the holes with no space for any top hats. Can they be bolted sold to the chassis or have the belts got to able rotate for the SVA

cvh will fit engine in but if you have the oppertunity go for the pinto as you will have a lot more room and a lot less hassel. engine running

using standard sierra master cylinder without servo, had to make a plate up as the sierra m/cyl mounting holes are in a different place. not using the valve and normal drums on back. can't tell you if means the back will lock as I've not finished yet pedal box

thanks Klaxon hadnt thought of drawing from the footwell as only looked at fitting heater matrix in engine bay.

About to fit screen and heater, wipers ect and was wondering does the air going through the heater have to come from outside the car or can it come from under the bonnet.

Luckerly not diabetic but have just been told my cholesrrial is too high at 8.1 and will now have to be on medication seems it's in my genes. I blame the parents
