Hi Mark
Yes there is a GTS nosecone badge and I have one in my posession.
I will post it in my photo archive asap. (probably later today)
If you want I'll send it to you as a"full sized" image via e-mail.
I'm seeing my son later today re website design.
After speaking to him on the phone he says he is extreemly busy at the moment but as long as there is no pressure he is sure he can do something for
us regarding a basic design and get some initial static pages up.
Best regards
Brian

GTS Logo.
Thanks guys. To help out, whatever the fee is for joining the owners club, GTS will pay for the first year, when you buy a kit. If you are already an
owner (and therefore founding member) GTS will pay for your first years membership also.
Obviously this is for people who have bought a kit from us, if you are a home builders (ie building from plans), then we will contribute 50% when you
buy the bodywork. Or some deal like that, whatever suits the club/owners.
Kind regards,
Darren

Ooops. Nice offer though.
I read an earlier post where it was said that it was only possibly going to be free.
I'll get some T-shirts made up then, and everyone gets a free t-shirt with membership of the club, if they own a kit etc..
Kind regards,
Darren

I thought I had better clarify parts of Article 3; with regards to membership being free, this will have to be fully decided as any
Secretary/Treasurer will need to be re-imbursed for any out of pocket expenses such as stationary, postage costs etc, the cost will be kept to a
minimum.
Regards
Mark
You were right in the first place Darren, it may only possibly be free. As Mark says it depends what the club expenses are...
T Shirts sound like a good idea to me as well . Another one to go with my Locost one

Just taken a peak at the website, and i think you have done a great job already.
Love the overall look of the website.
Might want to swap the pic for this.

oo i like the look of the front lights and indcator s, where do they come from?
gives it an aggressive look rather than the normal wide eyed look from standard lights.

They are the 5.75" headlights a lot of people are fitting. Not sure which ones are SVA compliant at the moment though, as most have a simple
up-down dip pattern.
The indicators are landrover items in a special housing.

They are 105mm diameter, which is just over 4" and they are not SVA compliant. They do look nice though but better fitted after SVA.

Oops, should have checked really...
Heres the pic from the GTS website (£37.50 each, available in black and chrome)
They are indeed 105mm diameter ones.
I think some of the 5.75" ones are SVA compliant, and they look better than the 7" ones.

5.75" headlights are the smallest SVA compliant headlights you can buy at present.

Theres no minimum diameter, it just most small lights are designed for motorbikes and so dip straight up and down and therefore will not pass SVA. The
smallest lights that dip to the left are 5.75" ones, though no doubt sooner or later someone will make a lens to fit the smaller lights which
would be SVA'able.
Hope that makes sense.

Sorry to contradict once again chaps but Darren has had at least one car through SVA using these lights!!!
The trick is to rotate the lenze in the housing to give the required "kick up" patten to the left.
As you correctly say Flack there is no min size stated for lamp dia in SVA.
I'll let you know soon how easy SVA is with these lamps.
I've got them fitted!!!!

It's common knowledge to some users on this forum that Steve @ SVC has been trying for years to obtain small diameter (less than 5.75")
SVA compliant lenses. He is tooled up and ready to start production of the housings if/when he finds a supplier. To date he has had no luck.
We purchased some 105mm dia lenses from GTS a few years back and couldn't see how we could possibly pass SVA with them, so took the safe option
and purchased a pair from SVC.
Go ahead and try them by all means. You won't be the first to try turning the lenses and you never know, you might get lucky.
