Here are the pictures of the bits I had to fix - also had to sort out the emissions - I took before and after photos for each fix and then sent them to Andrew at the test station to make sure he was happy with each modification (He said I could do this) mainly so i didnt fail again for something silly!!
Air filter fix, rotate the clips and add rubber edging to the rear edge of the air filter to give it a 2.5mm radius
Fog Light fix - replace the small plastic rocker switch with a rather nice ally flush fitting push button version (only protrudes from the dash by 1.5mm)
Top harness clips fix - edges of harness clips were not 2.5mm radius so added rubber edging to comply
Identification of controls fix - apply a horn symbol sticker to the horn push
Licence plate fix - although i had a legal licence plate dummy attached (correct size) the mounting plate behind was 10mm smaller all round so it could not be seen so that meant the edges of the plate (just the 10mm) were not supported and this was an issue, so a larger mounting plate (10mm larger all round) was made and fitted complete with rubber edging to ensure edge 2.5mm radius, this new mounting is larger than the VOSA TEST PLATE - and that the important bit you have to have all the yellow area on the test plate fully supported or it fails
Radiator fan motor mounting lugs not 2.5mm radius so made a drilled panel that covered the whole fan assembly, however had to remove it on the way home from the resit as the engine started to overheat as the fan couldnt get the heat away with the panel in place, removed it and for the rest of the run hoe it never got above the normal operating temp!!
hub adaptors at the rear protruded from the wheel slightly so needed a 2.5mm radius - applied rubber edging
shock adjuster knob didnt have 2.5mm radius so fitted domed nut covers !
side repeater location - repeaters not visible from rear so moved them to the guards behind the driver and passenger seats
track rod end nut - although I had fitted rubber covers over the track ends the lock nut could still be felt under the rubber so slipped the cover back and wrapped the lock nut with a section of bike inner tube and fastened in place and re-fitted the rubber cover - all good
And thats it - I now have a IVA pass certificate and ive ordered the registration pack from the DVLA (Andrew gave me the number its a V55/5) so just got to wait for the DVLA to send it then send it completed back and get the registration and log book!!!!!
