My Rangie story so far. Now Bobtail.

<< < (5/10) > >>

Bowie:
SVAs were not required for bobtails until around 1999 (I think) anyone making one beofre then was exempt.

They do have a category for them, go ask your local SVA test centre about it, they will know more than any of us.... shame their documentation is sooooo bad on the web :(

v8rangie:
Yeah would make ours and their life so much easier if everything was documented online.

v8rangie:
suppose i had better update this a bit really :)

i have fitted all new belts in the engine and taken off the a/c pump etc and also taken the viscous fan off and replaced with a 12" elec one i had lying in the garage.

Re-routed the fuel lines to go into the boot where the tank is going to sit.

Also got the new x-member on now and plated up the rear boot corners woohoo. not much left now.

i have some pics but cant find the usb cable :(

ChrisV8:
This has appeared very recently on the LRO forum re SVA, seems there is no doubt any cutting and shortening of chassis requires SVA !

i was going to bobtail mine by about 14-18 inches but done my research to find that 100% SVA is needed and that will rub to many hundreds and hundreds of pounds and then theres  the hassle with insurance and q-plates not worth the hassle
