Do you actually need this sticker for Iva?? Thought the pedal box just needs to be locked so it can't be adjusted??

be even better if you can include a notification of the type of brake fluid to use (eg DOT4) which i think is also a requirement?

if they're printed on an inkjet printer, how do they stand up to getting wet?

from the manual

e.g. lockwiring of components.

27.Vehicles fitted with adjustable twin master cylinders that have been rendered inoperable by mechanical means to comply with RS 26 must have a label affixed on the master cylinder or the immediate vicinity with legible text as detailed in note 6

Note 6: Adjusting front/rear brake bias may invalidate approval and breach Construction and Use requirements.

Yes, but that's a different sticker (yellow octagon) and has to be near the filler cap, where the other sticker needs to be next to the bias adjuster.

nah, just needs to be within 100mm of the filling points, so combined is ok

"An indelible label must be affixed in a visible position within 100 mm of the filling ports of the fluid reservoirs to ensure that it is possible for the end user of the vehicle to identify the brake fluid used in braking system. DOT fluid references and/or the Symbols and text in table 1 are considered acceptable."

* ah, but yes, it depends on the set up! my master cylinders are both on the same side of the bulkhead, where most people's on here, aren't, i get that part now.
mine are all together without bulkhead between them

tcr - 26/7/12 at 07:13 PM

i bought some from newark wish id made my own now ....i think they need to be within 100mm of the reservoirs

got mine thank you!
looks good and well printed, good size etc.
i did my own checks on how it stands up to water, didn't have any handy, so i licked it. i can confirm sticker paper doesn't taste very nice, but the ink doesn't run
