Arches

Must apologise first as this questions isn't in relation to a locost, but it could be so I hope nobody minds. I understand that the front arches must cover the width of the tyre/wheel but is there any legal spec as to how much of the circumference of the wheel/tyre must be covered for both SVA/MOT tests.
Hope somebody can help.
Cheers Col,

Somewhere in the deepest depths of my mind, I remember seeing 120 degrees of coverage required around the circumference. Don't know where I saw it, but it was many years ago.

You are right, 120 degrees of coverage.

On most of the Locosts I've seen, the front of the m/cycle mudguard is either above, or just in front of, a line drawn vertically from the front of the wheel rim.
