altval Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 Hi Guys. Any ideas how to stop my tyres rubbing the body on full lock?Also has anybody got a set of nut covers (for sva) going cheap? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatman Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 Lock stops on the rack. If it's supposed to be an SVA compliant rack, then complain to the supplier. If it's not, you can use jubilee clips attached to the rack under the rack gaiters to ensure that full lock is not reached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 Thanks for the Question, as I was about to ask the same! Thanks blatman for the answer you say about an sva searing rack? I just bought an Mk 2 escort from my local factors for £20 now need 2 jubilee clips Sound cheaper than Westfield Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatman Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 Yes, muddying the waters slightly with that comment. Basically, wheels touching the bodywork would be an SVA fail, and bl**** dangerous.......... I couldn't tell if this car is already registered, or is in the process of being built, hence my comment A standard (or even quick) rack from a "normal" motor factor won't be SVA compliant, so lock stops will be required.

altval Posted April 28, 2002 Author Share Posted April 28, 2002 Blatman. Many thanks for the info.Have got a part built SEI.Hav'nt a clue where the rack came from so i guess its the jubilee clip route. many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazee Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 It's a good idea to get this right as mine just failed an MOT because of rubbing wheelarches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
