On Series 3 LWTs (later ones anyway), there was a revised bracket there to provide a reinforced seatbelt mounting through to the chassis.

The tool box was mounted in the rear of the nearside arch, those pictures show the front of the wheel arch.

General Discussion / Re: Q Plates and Exemptions

Hi.

My understanding (and always has been), is that age exemption is based on the DATE OF MANUFACTURE. In most cases. the DATE OF FIRST REGISTRATION is close enough, in most cases.

There must be thousands of cases of vehicles donating their registration for vanity purposes, then being scrapped, or shoved into a field and forgotten. Then, many years later, they suddenly become desirable.

My recollection, from my days at the "giant cheese-grater" in Swansea, is that a "personal registration" may make the car look older than is, but not younger.

602 (Who has personally disposed of literally thousands of the old green log-books ... usually a Clerical Assistant's job ... but I'm not proud, so I got stuck in. I think about 7 tons of documents arrived at DVLC every day, with the information being microfilmed, then converted to paper-tape. Well, it was 1972-ish.)

Yes/No, the MOT is unaffected by any SORN declaration or renewal of (free) tax. The MOT expires when it expires, so if still in date it is still valid.

If your L/R is MOT exempt, then you still don't need an MOT.
It's always a good idea to put it through an MOT every couple/few years just to get a second opinion or maybe pick up on something you might have missed, even if it is not a legal requirement.

When you register SORN when you finish the SORN and go back on the road, do you have to do another MOT test?

Checked the tyre pressures. Strangely all 4 were correct.

Anything USB powered won't have the grunt unless inches from the face. 4.5v ish. Not enough current see... sorry, may as well f**t.

12V stuff might be better but... it's about directing the air. After all, how much puff can we expect from any heater fan? Let be some car-accessory shop shonk?

Open the bulkhead vents.

...in my case, the fan in the rig is just zip-tied to the steel frame I built for the force-feedback steering unit.
