Just out of interest .... How is your roll bar fixed .... In particular the backstays .... One bolt, Two bolt's or welded

Just thought it would be usefull to know & gauge if there are variations between test centres

Well done Tilly, that really is a good result.

If it wasn't for the emissions failure you could have got the rest fixed over the lunch break and passed on a retest on the afternoon.

Well Done, easy pass next time. Sounds like you had a very practical, nice, helpful tester. Same as mine - was very pleased.

awesome...

Take some picks of all those tricky areas we need to beware of and give us the rundown on any tips.

Good luck for the retest

Congratulations on getting the IVA, I'm positive those few items won't stop you and you'll have a retest shortly.

I'd also like to know about the rear roll bar braces / supports with regards 2 bolts / welding. All the brackets I have for my brake T-Pieces are aluminium Who supplied the wheel arches? Cos there may be a few of us with issues if its a common supplier.

hi all my roll bar is welded down...and he did check it but litraly looked and saw it was all welded in and said it was fine,

as for the arches i honestly carnt remember where igot them but basicly if you put a plum bob down from the front of the arch it has to cover the full diamitor of the wheel front to back and side to side. then the tyre is the 30 deg forward and 50 deg rearwards easy to do if you havnt mounted the arches yet just mount then further forward.
