IVA Pre check Help in Yorkshire

Hi, just taken collected the built Locost of big_wasa. There are a couple of things I know I need to do for the IVA (oil breather to catch tank and wrap lambda sensor) but I just wondered if there is anyone in the Yorkshire (Huddersfield area) that would have half an hour to spend to take a look over the car since I've missed anything.

THanks in advance

The way i did it was...
If you see 'anything' that even looks remotely suspicious.
Evostik & Edging trim - rubber over nuts etc anything that can be covered .. just cover it,,
Remember .. a mechanic should be able to replace protective trim. Though Cable ties seem disposable..

Just keep looking and covering every edge !!

2 suggestions - assuming you can move the car -

1) Get a local garage to check the car to MOT standard, the 3 thinks you really need (as they require specialist kit) are emissions, brake function and percentages for service and handbrake and headlight alignment. It was this point I discovered that the headlights bought at a kit car show had left hand drive lenses!

2) Given your location, I would speak to Chris / Mark at MNR. Mark did a check for me, pointed out some details that needed attention in exchange for a modest fee. They fitted me in at a quiet time for them and spent about 45 mins going over it.

Those steps helped me get through first time.

I was hoping that I'd find someone to come to me as I have to hire a transporter to move the car I'll get some pictures up this week.
