Greetings the house.
Well I failed! However not all lost as the three things it failed on were:
1. Edges on the Shock absorbers, the ring at the bottom, although radiused it wasn't enough and the C Spanner ring edge.
Both now well radiused with my Dremmil. So Tick
2. My Side Repeaters need to be resited. He now says they need to be on the front or rear cycle wing / arch. Pondering how best to do this without
leaving holes in he scuttle.
3. The Fog light switch is actually a Front Fog Light Switch so I need to change it Just about to go onto the Europa website to order one.
Thats it. Rest was fine.
All in all Ian was a top bloke. firm but fair and a nice bloke. Mitchem VOSA
Should be taking it back next week.

Sounds like a very good and easily sorted fail! Well done, just out of interest what engine you running and how did you get on with emissions and
sound levels?

good fail, all very easy fixes.
Well done. Nearly there.
I would be pissed off though. Such minor fixes and another 100+? quid for the retest?
I failed on the same indicator issue at Mitcham
see my fix

Thanks fella's.
OK questions
1. Running a Nov 1968 x-flow so smoke test only.
2. Noise was 93dBA New 7" can from Powerspeed. Great zorst and top company.
3. Have to remove repeaters not in use.
4. Gary, where have you run the wiring for the cycle wing repeaters? Like the sticker idea BTW.
5. Hoping to retest next week.

Good result
what year does the engine have to be for a smoke test only?
Please please say 1994 or earlier!
Good job matey
If I fail on that alone I'll be well chuffed!
As already said, you can be proud of yourself
I guess after your info regarding the dremel treatment, there should be no excuses for any fails on the shock rings now lol!

Same guy who did mine.
Nice bloke isn't he! Didn't even moan when he leaned over the exhaust to look at the carb and melted a hole in his hi-vis jacket!
Cheers,
James
if i was you i would put rubber grommet in the hole in scuttle and use double sided pads to re-locate in cycle wings then remove after iva easy
cheers
colin

Well all jobs now complete. New switch in, new repeaters on cycle wings, reflectors on scuttle, shockers dremmilled.

Well done mate. Don't think of it as a fail just a delayed pass!
Any chance of a picture of your new silencer?
Cheers
Gary
