Rear Retro Reflectors - SVA requirement
Rear Retro Reflectors, there is a requirement for 2 listed at the end of the table in Annex 1 of section 9.1 of the SVA manual.
Anybody know what these are, looked at many picture of locost rear lights, don't see any separate reflectors.
I guess in production cars the reflectors are the plastic area surrounding the lights? In a locost, where the light usually is just the light, then do
I need additional reflectors.
Anybody got a photo or direct experience of SVA

You need them, and they cannot be Triangle! as this indicates a Trailer, which ours failed on (although Renault Kangoo vans are pie shaped! or near as
damned it triangle)
Just stick on rectangle or square the best to go for, or you can even get circle ones I think,
we just got some from the local motorspares shop in Beverly while the test was in Progress.

Look at the back of most larger vans they usually have retangular ones.

Premier Wiring will sell you rectangular or round ones for a very small amount of money. The round ones
come in various sizes.

here are mine. Passed SVA by Mac#1 several times. I think that they are door guards. £3 for the pair. You might find them in Motorworld or similar,
come in packs of 4 (Mac#1 split the packs as only 2 reqd.)
