SVA-worthy Mirrors
Dick Axtell - 16/3/09 at 02:28 PM

Gonna need these for the upcoming test. Anyone got some going spare??

The centre mirror would be useful, too.

(Yeah - I know now, should've bought them last year at Stoneleigh!!)

Thanks for suggestion. Thought that for SVA, mirrors had to be spring-back type.

Honda Cub type are fixed, nicht war??

Re: South B'ham meets - snow conditions deterred me for Feb, and couldn't get back in time for March. Hope to make it for April 6th.

Although am still trying to get all the small finishing jobs completed.

They only have to retract if they're the widest point on the car - in a 7, your arches should be further out (unless you've got freakishly long stalks, and arms to match.....)

...only required where they stick out outside the plan of the vehicle. For a 7, that would mean a line drawn from the outside edge of the front wheel arch to the outside of the rear arch, so you should be OK unless you have mahoosive mirrors!

Great news Dick, when's your test and where are you taking it?

Thanks to bbwales, have now got pair of mirrors, which have already passed SVA, on another vehicle.
