A couple of observations
Are the button head bolts fixing the lower ball joints high tensile, they look like stainless steel in the pics.
Is the clamp fastener on the exhaust OK, no sharp edges etc.
Otherwise looks very nice

The braide is slightly abrasive. If you ran someone over, you could give them a nasty graze.
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

If i ran someone over they would have more than a graze i think. But on a serious note will get some overbrade from bike shop.
And got some 8.8 bolts today for front of car.

welderman... its not your seats or harnesses im talking about.... its the gauge that the examiner fits on your seat, he lines up the bubbles on the
levels and strikes a cord line back to your harness anchor points. I am wondering if your anchor points are too low for this test?
Have you measured them in relation to the SVA manual info?
Cheers John

No sorry mate, do you know what this measurement is so i can check it out.
Seats are on runners and they are very very close to floor of car. So no way my seats will go down any more.
Have you measured them in relation to the SVA manual info?

u not got messenger?
Ok here goes..
You will need a piece of wood or something 1360 x 53 mm. you need to sit it on your seat. Have a spirit level on the same plane as your anchor
points... and the distence between the spirit level and the block of wood needs to be a minimum 450mm.
Cheers john
