Fantastic news Mark

Another Roadster through IVA, how cool is that

A very big well done on your first time pass .... Perhaps there's hope for me yet

Nice one Mark,

Really am pleased for you.

Did you have your roll bar rear stays bolted down with two bolts each?

Cheers Ginge

My rear stays are made fom the same diameter tube as the hoop supplied by ash and extend down to the most outer lower point of the chassis where they are bolted through 8mm gusset plates with a m14 bolt. Just one bolt in each side but quite a hefty one!

Well if you are happy with no 13, PM me some details and I can add you to the completed car list. That then makes membership of the soon to be running HSBC??? compulsory!!

Sorry, HSCC

Double sorry, that is actually number 012 - not sure why I thought number 013, must have been saving 012 for Handy!!

Here are a couple of pics from today, its just my car on the brake rollers and mr iva tester lining it up with the markings on the road to test the field of view in my mirrors

Al the vosa men were wearing hard hats shaped like the ones that the smurfs wear

My tester was a top bloke and it was a good day out, the pass was the cherry on the cake

I will post up some pics of the finished car when i get round to taking some good ones

Just a shame dvla wouldnt inspect it on the way home, they have changed the rules at my local office so i have to book an appointment at vosa darlington where someone from dvla will look at my chassis/engine no.

Its ironic that vosa beverley had it for 3hrs and the chassis/engine no was the first thing he checked out

I have to wait until the 20th of may, get it trailored there and then i can get my tax and logbook

Just one more hoop to jump thru and il be on the road, cant wait

[slimtater]

That looks a really nice example.






Tear forming in the corner of my eye, Billie, I miss you!

Congratulations Mark. Would love to see some build pictures or a diary. I have so many little niggling issues I with how to get things sorted for the IVA. Seeing another build, really helps!
