with regards to the fuel cap, its has to have a lock if the filler cap is exposed to the outside of the car! it the filler neck is not exposed to the
outside of the car, say under the boot shelf then it have to be secured but then the shelf has to be lockable
Not trying to muddy the waters but mine passed SVA with a screw on/off petrol cap from some Japanese car that was able to be freely opened from the
outside of the buggy as in not below/inside any lockable area.

I fitted a radio in my Indy while i was building her, and it was only while i was builing her that i could hear the damn thing, worst thing i did it
was. All sorted now, not a radio in sight.

SVA dosn't require a locking cap. The manual just says it must be secure, as in won't fall off, come loose or leak. If it locks then
it's easier to prove it's secure.

Yep I agree, mine had no lock and neither did my mates. It just has to be secure and not fall off. A lock is only to stop people nicking your fuel,
not a safety thing.

Very specific regulations for the seat belt mountings and especialy in your case the "effective seat belt mounting height" which must be a
specific height above the seat squab
Make up a peice of wood 136mm long 53mm high, put it on the seat pushed to the back, long edge forward, from the top front edge measure 450mm straight
up, from this point draw a horizontal line back to where your seat belt mounts will be, this is the minimum height the mounts should be.

sorry to add to the list bu the radio could also be a fail due to radius, brother in law had a fail on his MK Indy for this as it is in the
contactable area.
Speakers will be of no use there place them in the rear bulkhead you can hear the radio up to 65 mph other rthan that us an ipod mp3 player etc

Hi there! Thanks for your help, I have attached a load more photos in a new thread, 'Is it legal? (more pics!)'. If you wouldn't
mind inspecting them, thatd be really helpful.
Many thanks,
Matt
