Wiring is pretty much done, and have modified the Photon lights with an LED sidelight...

Yet more wires fitted today, I think aside from the temp and speedo sensors it's all done. The speedo hall sensor I will run down screened cable
which I will chassis ground, It's a KOSO unit so can be rather flaky..
Had a bit of a nightmare with my SVA paperwork which I sent last tuesday on RM recorded 1st class, the tracking number said it hadn't been
delivered still this morning, called SVA office and they had received it weds - tracking system must have a problem...
Not sure how long to expect to wait for the call saying the details have been passed to the SVA test centre?

James, you mentioned an Led sidelight.
Is that in the lamp housing?
Any info, pictures of this?
I am planning on using the lucas landrover style sidelights for mine.

Italo, the lights are "Photons" available from Russ bost of this forum 
Martin, the back of the directing lens has two manufacturing flats, I put a 5mm hole through one of these and epoxied a 8000mcd megabright LED in it -
It's in the high beam unit so all 4 lamps are illuminated during normal driving - They are not massively bright but have the option of adding a
second LED in each if SVA needs

Will the led's survive the heat of the halogen lamps?
Just as an aside, your dipped beam must stay on when you put your main beam on on twin light setups.
On single lights this does not apply

Bugger! The sierra switches dont do that - no problem i'll just wire the main beam relay signal onto the dipped so they are both forced to fire
together - is this stated in the sva manual anywhere?
I bench tested the high beams for half an hour with the LED only becoming lukewarm, there isn't much light hitting it

It is definitely an sva rule.
At least you found out now!

The only mention I can find is on section 9.1 page 4 where it states
(If the lamp is of a gas discharge type)
dipped beam remains on when the mainbeam is on
along with other rules such as must have a washer system..
Presumably that only covers HID lights?
Can you explain where it's stated?

I have just spent half an hour re-reading and it looks like you are right.
Sorry to give you a heart attack!

I may go armed with some electrical tooling just in case! There is a case for it I suppose as there is a momentary point during the relay switchover
where the lights are off, though only for a tiny fraction of a second....

What instrument panel is that? I can't see it referred to in the thread.
It looks really good I'd like to investigate them further.
Thanks,

When the phone call comes your stomach will instantly drop and your heart will pound , as you realise how little time you have to do a million and one
jobs . The very best of luck to you

Hopefully it's not too many jobs - list is:
Fit cycle wings
Fit fuel tank (when it arrives)
bolt in seats/belts
fill and bleed brakes
Nut covers
Clip back all wiring
Battery terminal covers
Speedo calibration
Fit driveshafts...
I'm sure that list will double!

All the best with the final push
Do you have to add wheel alignment to the list, or did you do that earlier?
Cheers

You can do it quickly. You can do it cheap. You can do it right. – Pick any two.

Feb - the race is on!! 
Date is a friday - not sure if thats a good day or not to have it?
