Simple rules to follow.. Keep the tyres covered! Dont have any sharp pointy bits on.. Then try an keep the rest as stock as possible!Originally posted by Cooler View Postim trying to do a truck like this, but i want mine to be road legal so its really hard to design and work it all out, one wrong move and the dvla will sva test it and give me grief.

there is a lot more too it than that. such as if you touch the chassis in any way by lenthening or shortening you will be tugged for testing. its hard but my rear overhang should be disappearing enough without the need to shorten the chassis.Completely bitten by the off road bug, and what better vehicle to do it in!Comment

But So what?! The SVA (or replacement test whatever they're calling it.. ) will be checking to see if its safe.. Which it will be because all the work will be comptently carried out! The easy ones to make a mistake on will be having the tyres too exposed or some sharp section from some metal work/body adjustments!
On the whole the brake system.. engine.. an therefore emissions etc are all going to be well within SVA regulations so you've nothing to really worry about!

Have a browse at that mate... To be honest. Common sense will dicate whats acceptable an whats a total no-go as you progress with the build.
Conveyer belt material makes a great 'wheel arch' that could easily be removed if need be when you dont want/need them!
