what are the legal height and spacing issues for the rear lights on a locost?

another person that needs an sva manual




from memory

must be no more than 400mm from the outside edge of the car (measured to edge of lit lens are)

Must be at least 350mm from ground

must be at least 400mm apart across car.

That sounds about right SG, the vertical heights are measured to the lowest point, the horizontal distances are measured to the outermost edge.

quoted straight outta the SVA book in front of me on my desk........

max distance from side = 400mm with a minimum seperation of 500mm unless vehicle width is less than 1400mm then minimum seperation is 400mm

minimum height = 350mm

maximum height = 1500mm (not that it's ever gonna be a issue on a locost!)
