As I posted on here before I was confident that the brakes setup was the best it was ever going to be but still wasnt sure if it would be good ENOUGH. As Scottie was otherwise engaged I drove the pickup into the building intially . That first push on the brakes filled me with confidence but didn't want to get too cocky.
The tester asked , out of interest, what we had done to correct the problem ,and I said what we'd done and that I hoped it was enough. With a " Let's see " he got in with the test with Scottie taking over control of the truck and myself answering any tech questions.
When I left Andy was still looking like he'd been Tango'd , his face total shock even WITH the all important MAC certificate in his hand.
Strangely when I got home had a call from another Goods SVA rod owner who was having a bit of trouble registering it with his local office so had to speak with DVLA Policy to get that sorted.
Good day all round in the end though.
Just glad we got there in the end Andy with a well deserved result , as I keep saying never had so much trouble with any brake setup and it fought all the way to the very end!
Time now to resurrect my old SVA passed A truck and fine tune it's latest engine and box.

I think Andy is excused working on vehicles for a while! (apart from getting the truck through the MOT of course!)

Hi Andy I am rely pleased for you that pop as finally past . its Been a pleasure helping with this over the past 18 or so months. Meeting new friends but now is the time to to move on. I will still be about and will call in the yard when I can. And I will be at the show in may. I am going to sell all the reliant gear I got as I will never finish the trike and just play with my goldwing. You get pop on the road. Then finish yours and Tazs trikes. See you in May at the show

You know you're always welcome Terry. Don't be a stranger We've still got a fair way to go, but an awful lot of people have already gone above & beyond the call of duty on our behalf. I've got a big ol' list of favours to repay! |

Congratulations. I have been watching the heroic actions of fellow monkeys on this build and I think pats on the back all round are in order. Celebrating with a beer tonight Andy?

The wipers & washers are already sorted Clive. Fitting the windscreen is a different matter. We've had several attempts -& one busted screen -already.
