SVA pass at Chelmsford this morning
I just got my SVA pass!!!
Went through first <a href="http://www.ntsearch.com/search.php?q=time&v=55">time</a>, the inspector, Mike Larkin was a
great help and really wanted to assist in the pass.
Info for anyone who needs it:
I used braided hoses from Rally design: the ones with the stem inside the fittings
He didnt comment on these at all. They were covered in spiral wrap.
I put extra rubber gaiters on the track rod arms - effectively extending the orginal ones to the track rod ends. - No problem with this.
The speedo was just in limit - a smiths Dolomite speedo on a 4 speed escort box. Very touch and go but it just got there.
The brake <a href="http://www.ntsearch.com/search.php?q=test&v=55">test</a> needed a few goes to get the balance right -
ended up getting the 16 stone father in law to sit in the passenger seat to add weight to get the rear to lock up when needed.
The only minors to be put right were:
brake light switch; a bit of adjustment.
Nip up a bleed nipple
The brake failure warning light - I used the smiths Dolomite cheese segment one. I wired the warning light to the H brake section. This was OK up to a
while ago but now the warning light must show (!) in a circle. We got round this by scrapeing a (!) into the black bit of the light.
My only other worry was the self centring which it wasnt doing much of but obviously enough
Hehe - Im off to the other bit of the DVLA to wait and get it registered
Thanks to all who helped - we've got a <a href="http://www.ntsearch.com/search.php?q=car&v=55">car</a> now for the
East Anglian meet!
