failed sva yesterday

But I don't care, I'm on SVA not IVA
The failiure was expected. Got a good job card to work from now. I was surprised the MNR dash and front wishbone/shock mounts failed, I thought the kit was designed to pass sva? Too many points to list, lets just say it's 2 pages long! I was pleasently surprised my brakes passed the test apart from balance bar not locked.
Had a quick drive when we got home, man it's fast, I can't imagine what a Busa would be like.
I'd like to thank all those who helped with my spark and fuel problems.
I'll post pics when it's at a finished state.
Cheers

Well done (I think!). Good luck with the fail sheet!

What was it about the dash which failed, and did you have the MNR loan bumper? that's supposed to stop them testing the front suspension stuff for radius....

Cheers, and good luck with getting it all sorted out!

Well done mate. Breath a sigh of relief now. What was the flooding carb problem in the end?

Which test centre did you go to, and what bits on the front wishbones mounts and the dash failed, as I have my test at the end of April and will be using the MNR loan kit

At least you now have a sheet to work through and no IVA

the carb flooding was the breather blocked.

Exeter test station. Very helpful and nice guy. It failed on the top mounting bracket radius.
The loan kit was all booked out when I wanted it.

Thanks, good luck with the re-test
