On a Stuart Taylor chassis car......tested at Notts (who are great by the way in my experience)
Failed on:
Drivers side seat shoulder belt anchorages too low (very slightly, fixed by removing some foam from the bag-moulded seat!)
Passenger side seatbelt anchorages............complicated one, on the drivers side the dash lower rad. was 19mm, but on passenger side it was only
18mm. No prob says tester, you have no passenger seat so no problem. Then he noticed that there were belt anchorages welded in, so he could not pass
it until either the dash was right or the belt anchorages had been made "inoperable" (which was qualified as bolt with no head welded in)
I did this, but very carefully (i.e. reversibly!!) as was planning passenger seat in future!!
Dash radius, see above
The edge on the plate on the end of the metalastic bush holding the silencer on was too sharp, fixed by sandwiching a disc of mudflap material with
rad dressed onto it between bush plate and bracket
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning

(1) No self centralising of steering when driven. Castor - Tracking re-set!
(2) Gear/Box change Cables touching sump. Create more clearance!
(3) N/S Brake Goodridge Hose too short New one, longer giving free play!
(4) F/Brake Calliper Bolts Not Wired Done!
(5) E C U un-protected Carpeted Done!
(6) Edges of door frames too sharp Plastic Wiper Hose cut & stuck over!
(7) Dipped H/lamps dipping like continental? Changed over and turned round (Done)!
(8) R/Fog Lamp too close to R/Lamps (spacing wrong) New Fog Lamp under bumper (Done)!
should come on with H/Lamps only!
(9) Rear 1/4 lights,& R/window, have the safety markings! Can you get your man to do you some
clear transfers? to stick in corners of
windows, please.spec for glass like F/screen
& side windows!
(10) Weight of Kit wrong? I will produce Certificate to correct weights!
(11) Silencer - Pipes under Bonnet. Will have to cover with Asbestos Wrap!
(12) Wires Behind Battery & Coil wires! Fix into place & cover!
Even if the Windows were in Perspex? Still have to have the safety markings on them! Like what's on the
Screen! and Door Windows! A Certificate & Clear sticker-transfer if possible!
this insistence on flipping lockwire on caliper bolts drives me MAD!!
I was all ready to argue at my SVA, but the tester never questioned that I had no lockwire on them! A LOT of production cars use loctite (all
vauxhalls for example! ) and I certainly know of no modern cars that use lockwire these days, all use loctite to my knowledge. Hasten to add mine were
indeed loctited

1. Radius issue on exhaust clamp - needs turning around so that bolt is towards the sill of the car.
2. Light on fog light switch coming on with side lights - needs to come on only when the fog lights are actually on. Easy re-wiring job.
3. Not possible to assess the state of the rear brake shoes due to the inspection hole in the back plate being obstructed by the Tiger uprights.
Need to drill a new hole that is accessible and fit a rubber bung. On each side of course.
