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!

OMG, I missed that one sneaking up. Does that make you the proud owner of number 013?

Hey Mark,
Congratulations that's great news and it's only taken a few roadsters going through the IVA to get a clean first time pass
Waaahhhooooooooooooo
well done - some expensive kits are struggling with the IVA but a car you can build all yourself can get a first time pass.
You must be well chuffed.

Nice one Mark,first time too.!

Number 13 !

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
