I fabricated an angled cover over the top of it which is then rivetted in place. It was quite a complex folded piece which it does a good job of covering the column. It then seemed like a sensible place to put the brake fluid reservoir.

A quick update. I now have a rolling road booked for 9th January and I'm planning to take the car to Blyton Park on 31st January if everything goes well on the rolling road.
My neighbour mentioned to me that there is actually a rolling road 1.5 miles from my house so I have now booked in here. It saves me the 2 and a half hour drive up to Bogg Bros. It is a lot more expensive but I think the hassle saving will be worth it. |
Trailer looks a good fit in all respects.

Good progress and fingers crossed for the IVA :)

Looking very good.
Fingers crossed for that IVA.. There's few cars getting finished these days which is a shame but at least some are still making it over the line. TT |
So the IVA test at Derby went pretty well yesterday. The only fail points were on emissions, fog light marking and headlight alignment.
My carbs are still massively over fuelling which seemed to get worse during the day, so I need to have another rolling road sessions at someone more familiar with carbs. I am going to get booked in at Bogg Bros. I will buy another set of carbs, buy a full main jet kit and take along an extra bike fuel pump to try and get to the bottom of it. My fog light is E marked but it needs to have an F or a B on it. I bought my fog light before the new rules came in. So I have ordered a new lens assembly to sort this. Finally I had done up my headlight nuts too tight so he couldn't adjust my headlights during the test. I just need to loosen these for my retest. A couple of other things that I need to tweak is to remove the dB killer from the exhaust as with it fitted it is very good on noise but you can't get an emissions probe down the exhaust. I also need to make a heatshield for my exhaust manifold as it is getting my bonnet very hot. |
Not a bad fail - well done! To reduce heat I wrapped the exhaust manifiold and cat completely in exhaust wrap about 50mm wide, worked a treat and simple to do. I got some stainless steel ties to keep it in place, don't think plastic would have worked.

yeah i would be happy with that, I think my fogs is correct. Fuelling is always a bugger .
Will you get it back there in time for the restest? |
