Hi all, does anyone know if theres a maximium width of a vehicle for SVA?

Cheers

there's a max width for the road but nothing I believe for the actual test.

why? what are you building, one of these?

Dunno, but if it won't fit on their rollers then they are going to have trouble with the brake tests and speedo calibration!

Take a trip down to the local SVA station and ask them! The lads in Newcastle are pretty friendly.

i wouldnt of thought you would want to go wider than a standard sierra anyway or the car would be wider than it is long

2 meters wide looks nice

I wish I had made my wishbones as I would have liked them another 4 in longer, pah.

have to agree an extra 4" would be good

What have you done now? It didn't look that wide last time I saw it??!!

Thanks all for reply, its a question from work colleague who is a Land Rover enthusiast with an idea of turning a LR into a Hummer type vehicle which he is planning on making super wide and asked if I knew what the max width is.

Turns out that the maximum width for SVA is 2.55m which sounds wide enough to me.

Wyn hope your going to post when your car is running at Llys-a-fran??

Jools

It's a good thng it'll be 4 wheel drive because half the roads in Pembrokeshire aren't that wide so he'll have all 4 wheels in the hedges!

Llys y Fran is on the 13th May but unless I find a rolling road soon I'm stuffed :-(

All the Welsh dates are here

2.55 m is correct. It's a European standard.

But seem a little bit too width for a car.
Maybe you make a seven with 3 seats?

mine will be around 1.75 metre
