SVA fail @ Shrewsbury
Evening All
First just like to say a big thanks to Stuart the tester, top fella ,wasn't nervous at all if it passed it passed strange as i'm completely
the opposite with MOT's. Biggest worry was self centering and noise. Springs in thge steering rack will do no good as the official way is to
drive it round the perimiter of the compound at 20/30 mph and look for a degree of self centering.
fail point one.
I've had the car about 4yrs and the headlamp bar is the old type....hence the fail ..... EDGES

interior projections
put the relays under the dash for easy access but the dreaded head came into play again, just need to make an ally cover for them.
switches and clocks
Yes you did warn me The aeroswitch and starter button, temp gauge in exemption area
but fuel gauge and speedo not radiused, I have an ACEWELL unit on the dash behind wheel setup and calibrated purchased just for the rev counter
facility, but seeing as a fuel gauge is not an sva requirement and both speedos passed those 2 offending items are going and the holes blanking off

Doesn't sound too bad, a bit of tweaking to get it to self center, then jobs a gooden

Quite a "good" fail
For seat belt bolts, I made some ally trim and covered them in vinyl - look great, easy to remove and SVA friendly.
Can't find any pics, but if you want some, let me know and I'll get some up.

I put some edge trim round mine, held on by tie-wraps at the ends. With a little bit of effort you can make it look very neat and
'permanent' (ahem...). For example, make sure that the lump on the tie-wrap is tucked away under the fixing.

and that's it, a degree of self centering wasn't a problem.
NOISE Must hold the record on this one 101db needed 100.9db on the meter as stuart said it's the side of the reading he wanted.
Thanks for all the help so far, big thanks to stuart for a great morning, thanks to all the pratts on the A41 at 6.30 this morning with their main
beams on, thanks to the dickhead who nearly wrote me and the trailer off, he overtook a wagon got along side the trailer and realised he still had 25
feet to go, he had to jam his brakes on and pull in behind me I think the airhorns and spot lamps on the wagon woke him up

Just out of interest I mentioned to stuart about having to spiral wrap the braided hoses and he said it's not an issue with him it's not
an SVA requirement

I used small edge trim around the seat belt ends. I fed the first end into the webbing hoop, went around the bracket and trimmed the other end to just
meet the first inside the webbing. It was a bit fiddly to do (warm it a bit makes, it more pliable) but looks neat and has stayed on post SVA .
Alternative is to find some covers off a tin-top mounts at the scrapers. I've been told Fiesta ones do OK, but not tried it.
My R1 db's came in at 100.8, 100.9 and 101.1. He took the average and passed it!
Good fail all the same.
