DAX SVA Bumper
MK9R - 20/11/02 at 07:59 AM

I know this was discussed a few weeks ago, but i thought some of you may be interested in what i found out at exeter.

The bar that protrudes out infront with the front suspension on the DAX Rush is indead fro SVA. It means that nothing on the front suspension will be tested for SVA, i'e no nut covers, gators, lagging is required. Also, if you fit the side lights to this bar it means that you can sit the head lights a lot lower, as the side lights need to be visible from the side, but not the headlights. It is also a good place to put your indicators. On the DAX the bar is fitted to the 2 upper wisbone pivots/bolts and is therefore very easy to remove (without ruining body work etc), if you wanted to??!!
The bar inside the nose cone is also for SVA, but apparently they don't bother to be checking it.

So what you are saying is that if anyone fits a bar similar to the one in the pic, then the radius of the suspension bolts/nuts and steering will be exempt from the SVA?

This is too good to be true!

If it works it has to be the way forward!

Can anyone give me any good reasons not to?

(go on I know you can)

Thats right!!!

And i have always loved the look of the front of the DAX with the low, square headlamps!
