Side repeaters
Just had a wee thought about these, according to iva they should be on the outer most extremity of the bodywork, ie the cycle wings on a seven type
car.
buuut, do cycle wings actually count as bodywork?

I might be wrong here but on my car I think the widest part is my rear arches which coincientally I saw a car in the main hall of Newark with them on
there. They were nice little round things. I think CBS sell them at the moment.

Yep I bought two at Newark.
It looks like they will also pass in the side of the headlight bowl.
I can not make my mind up.
If you stick them in the lights and they dont pass they are buggered and the wiring is more of a pain to do for the wings.

Ditto - I think the rear arches are the widest part of most sevens, hence some people coming a cropper with the distance of the front indictors from
the outside edge of the car

They are a sealed unit and i brought them from Premier Wiring a few years back at one of the shows. At the moment they are on the scuttle, but will
have to move to the rear wings as mentioned and then repair wings after IVA.

Got some little LED ones from GBS for quite cheap that have the rubber seals around. Set them in front edge of the rear wings and they also sit within
the max distance from the front of the car too.
I think someone mentioned that the Notts test centre was only accepting the repeaters being on the rear wings now.

I got the GBS ones and did this:
It's an 80 odd mm length of 20mm conduit with a running coupler and a 20mm bush to hold in in the headlamp bowl, radiused and painted black. The
repeater lamps come out of the flush mount grommets and pretty much press fit into 20mm conduit so no need to mess them up.
Post IVA they could come out easily as it would leave a 20mm hole in the headlamp, which incidentally is the correct size for the flush mount
grommets the lights come with, fairly fuss free and it gets them visible past my rear wings.
This might help someone, Stott

What about doing that idea but mounted on scuttle???
Camper vans do that as the rear body extends wider then front doors.
