There are obviously variations in the way each test centre interperets the Manual!
Someone may benefit from these oddities which I interpereted differently...
The master cyl cover didnt have to be removable,as the fluid could be seen through the nylon plasticy screw on top!
I was led to believe that the battery cut off switch was ok for disablement..lucky I had built in a lock for the steering ,cos it has to be a mechanical disablement.
The twin h/lamps side by side i fitted ,are ok if they are one main beam,and the other dip BUT if each one is dip and main they have to be spaced much wider apart. He went to the office and checked the legislation on this.
The number plate.......... must have the mounting bracket in place ready to fit it. Although the manual says summat like "must have a space for it"

next step according to my DVLA letter,(although BD6 may have different info) is to insure the thing on the VIN number,(my ins co will do this,but only for 30 days,then it has to have the reg in place),fill in a dvla form,then show Insurance cert and the MSVA cert to the DVLA with £55 reg fee,plus the fee for 12 or 6 months tax.They then issue the Reg number ,job done! (I hope it is as easy as what the dvla letter says!)My letter doesnt mention an mot(I think it was actually crossed out on the list of things to present to them)I am going to re check this with them.

even though theres a manual and its supposed to be black and white, Im surprised that the exposted belts on the engine went through ok but from experience the disablement is allowed to be either electronic or mechanical, unless the manual been changed very recent? but hey who cares now The device may be mechanical or electrical, or an electronic immobiliser or a combination of these in addition to any switch normally used to start the engine. either way congrats on the pass, its not hard and now your rewarded with a trike thats properly registered, so you can spread the word and put a few "pub experts" in their right places merry christmas |

yup but they also usually want to see the vehicle as well, and you cant ride it to the DVLA inspection stupid really as all the numbers have been verified by the MSVA tester |

The belts are within the frame. I did fit a guard for the alternator cooling fins behind the pulley.

I was told that they would only want to see it in extreme circumstances but they would not tell me what they were

ah sorry I wasnt aware you had been already and had the DVLA inspection then yes from memory its the v55/5 is it? the MAC and insurance on the VIN number and some cash I have done mine slightly different in the past but offices differ. I get VIN numbers issued by post while Im building, then I get the MSVA, then go round the corner and get DVLA bit sorted, usually book or at least write/call and make sure they got someone there on the same day. plenty of tinker time ready for next summer, you will be out on no matter what the weather, just because you can! |

According to my letter ,its a V842 form,but I suppose there may be others to fill in as well
Im going to re do the handlebars a bit wider. I may have to pull the engine out as well,so Im looking to get it sorted by about April.
