Thanks fella’s.

 

As expected I have got a small list of things that need rectifying after the IVA test this morning.

Hopefully nothing too onerous to sort.

That’s good news Gary, hopefully all relatively simple stuff?

Most of the list has been dealt with this afternoon.

 

All the major items were good:-
Emissions
Brakes

Noise (just)

Speedo

Cockpit area

Projections

Lights

 

I attacked the list this afternoon and made good progress, Jobs left to do are:-

 

I need to make a heat shield to sit above the underslung exhausts where they pass under the fuel tank.

 

There is a slight rub on the steering column where it passes through the bulkhead.

 

Add some protection/conduit to the wiring in the drivers footwell

Should be done by lunchtime tomorrow! Glad its an easy list to resolve.

Shame it didn’t quite make it through. However, pleased you sound upbeat with the issues to be resolved. Keep up the good work.

I predicted a fail and wasn’t wrong, but it made it easier to accept.

 

I will be on the blower Monday morning sorting a retest date out

Re-test bookings seem to be pretty quick at the moment so hopefully you won't have to wait long.

One job left to do to complete the list of work needed, which is some protection/conduit in the drivers footwell, everything else is done

I have just booked my retest for this coming Thursday 25th March.

Hopefully its just a box ticking exercise.
