anyone recomend sva friendly front nose cone indicators.seems that they have to be 40cm from outer edge of front wheel?this means they will look crap.if the only way is to extend them how have people done it?
cheers

It's 40cm from the widest point of the car which could be the rear wings.

like this....

can i mount ones on the top of front cycle wings or bolt them on under front headlamps?

The side of my MK nose cone is 560mm from the widest part of the car i.e the cycle wing. SVA states that indicators must be no more than 400mm from the widest part. That leaves 160mm and as most bike indicators are approx 100mm long you will only have to extend them by 60mm, easily done with a piece with of tube with a nut fixed inside. I sure some one will correct me if I'm wrong.

It's tricky to get all the visibility angles correct when mounting them under the headlamps.

Here's what I took to the SVA:


indicators

It was a close thing but they did pass, despite the tester measuring VERY carefully!

Don't forget that it's 400mm from the very widest part of the car - (often the rear wings) to the OUTSIDE EDGE of the WORKING PART of the lens: not the centre, nor the outside edge of the indicator casing. In other words, the outer edge of the bit where the light comes out.

The lathe is a wonderful tool.

Two circles on MDF with holes cut in them and two bits of 40mm waste pipe. Attached to a point under the headlamps. Job done.

cheers for the ideas.
