side repeaters on rear wings
sdh2903 - 16/4/12 at 02:17 PM

Hi all

I Know this has been talked about many times, but I'm just sorting my side repeaters out.

I dont want them on the cycle wings due to various testers not liking them there and I dont fancy having them on stalks on the scuttle. Has any one put them on the front edge of the rear arches/wings? They are within 2600mm of the front and no probs height wise and can't see there being an issue with visible angles?

cheers
Steve

I agree and think the rear arches are the safest place to guarantee compliance.

Ive heard of them getting through on the rear arches. ive always thought its a bit slly cause surely side repeaters are for when a cars pulling out of a sideroad and such...?

I passed IVA with them on the front cycle wings.
Consistency, eh ?

Cheers guys

Just mounted on rear wings, not the best place in my eyes but satisfies all the IVA regs.

Mine were same location, but bigger. (Land Rover ones used)

The tester walked straight up to the car and the first thing he saw and commented on was the location of mine. He loved it and said it showed the book had been read and taken notice of.

I only wanted them there for the test and have since refitted to the scuttle where they was originialy and all old holes filled and painted over.
