Hi Mark
Me again - where did you get your screw covers from ? I strongly suspect something like B & Q or Homebase?
Petemate

P.S. I think you'll be OK now - should sail through

Pete,

Yes, good ole B&Que. About £2 for 16, I have covered all the lamp screw holes, and the allen screws on the fuel filler etc. Better that dousing with silicone

Hi Mark..... The ball piece he uses for checking contact areas is only in a forward striking stroke... he moves it forwards and backwards ensuring it is level at all times. The rear of your car doesnt get checked for radius.. only for sharp objects...
Only area i see from your pics that i would be kinda concerned.. is the ring on your silencer.... hopefully it is radiused?

Best of luck..

Do you mean the retaining straps?

looks really good. Is the angle of the steering column to the rack greater than 15 degrees?

Just sussed - I think they are the soft cupboard door silencers - we already have some!!! Doh..
Re the rear of the car, my lad's Dax failed on the rear reflectors, and I can assure everyone that he used his radius gauge on them, I saw him.

No its only 10°, fairly sure that is the spec for SVA (looking feverishly!)

I will put protectors on my protectors if means a pass! (yes, they are door silencers)

Take plenty of Bits of Rubber, tools, glue, plastic covers and anything else you can cram in the car, then you can sort anything you missed at the centre whilst they have a tea break.

Looks a nice build, hope all goes well and Good Luck.

Sorry Mark but I've eaten the SVA marshmallows.

Mark Allanson - 4/6/05 at 11:02 PM

Bugger!

All's not lost. We could always stop at Lidl's on the way............
