just about visible bp220516

easier to read in the flesh

does this bed to be easily read for iva/registration?

[Mark (smokey mow)]

Yes, the DVLA will need to be able to read it. I assume you're going for a Cat emissions test with VOSA so they wont need to see it.

VOSA checked mine too. I didn't paint over the engine number but still had to get the wet and dry out to make it legible.

Box and engine look really smart. Makes me wish I'd painted my gearbox!

[Mooch]

errm the engine and gearbox are grey

My wife tells me there are 50 Shades of grey.....

Has she been looking at the Dulux colour charts again?

[darve]

here's the engine ready to be installed. I'm off work tomorrow so that's what's on the agenda

can anyone confirm if the bracket on the back of the starter motor out of the Mazda is required? it's miles off from the hole in the engine mount

thanks

You can take off the starter bracket mate, its not used on the Westfield which is why it doesnt fit
