It will be effin merder
if he fails it this time lol
Anyways please excuse the lack of activity on here ....have had a few surviving day to day issues, but I am back on song now so the fail list
Well the handbrake was straight forward enough, buy a new cable and get it swaged to the right length and retro fit it.....took nearly a day as the tank had to come out ....beware if you are thinking about using Newcastle don't use any kind of "cable joiner" it wont do.
The under-reading speedo was fun as I had put that dash in so it was not going anywhere jeeez it was a big pita but sure enough my research did prove worth it when I drilled a hole roughly where I thought the potentiometer would be and it was.....after making a record of speeds to rpm it was just the slightest tweak clockwise to bring the reading to a passable level, but even if it is still out I can get to it at the re-test .
kick up on the headlamps turned out to be a relatively easy fix.....after grinding a small glass locating "bobble" down I was able to move the lens and reflector around 10 degrees to get the kick up the right way.
Easiest of them all....axle weights, just simply typed up a letter on pc saying I was the manufacturer and I was informing the examiner of a design axle weight change.
Rear fog light was resolved using Sirieslandy's diagram further up this page.
Coil spring "locks".....I was not sure how I was going to sort this one out, I was not keen on the examiners suggestion of small grub screw through the threaded ring seat as it would defo create a weakness at that spot so I decided to fabricate a aluminium jubilee type clip to clamp on the shock body but also have a small tab that locates into a notch on the threaded spring seat .....this provided two "locking actions" and no need to take the spring off.....I have had to sacrifice a little adjustment, but I can live with that for the mo
only have pics of last item on list....see next page
