Title: New MSVA Manual Post by: BikerGran on December 16, 2014, 08:49:09 PM Posteds by a vehicle examiner on another forum......
Quote A new MSVA manual has been published on the dot gov website. I've only had a quick read but it seems little has changed apart from some lighting regs. Rear position lamps (tail lights) the maximum height has gone up to 1500 mm. Title: Re: New MSVA Manual Post by: Olds on December 16, 2014, 10:10:08 PM Will have a check through tomorrow. But I doubt that I will be doing another trike or bike for at least 4 years.
Title: Re: New MSVA Manual Post by: Olds on December 17, 2014, 07:32:15 AM Had a look through. It's mostly adding notes.
Section 2 Mirrors Un bodied vehicles. Time constrained element removed (whatever that was ) Section 4 Speedometers. Note saying GPS not a suitable substitute. Section 6 Lighting. 3 wheeled mopeds rear lights max height corrected to 1500mm Section 8 External Projections - Un bodied. Ball end levers may have a flat or be hollow on the bottom of the ball. Bodied. Slight wording change re-hub centres/hub caps. Section !5 Tyres. Note added re- DOT marking only acceptable if weight and speed ratings are also present. Think that's it. But if you are building for MSVA, download the latest version and read it yourself. :) |
