The handbrake is also you emergency brake and in the event of loss of brakes etc you should be able to grab it easy which you cant with what you have done!

Its not just if your mate will pass it on MoT its if you were to be pulled by Vosa on a routine stop they would remove it Perminatlt or slap a prohibition cert on it and you defo dont want one of those!!! Dont get me wrong looks really good just dont want you getting done for it! Oh one thing those led lights you have are the too bright at night?

the LED are fine at night i can dim them if they 2 much which they not, but what i cant get,is what you say it wont go thought MOT and now you say if i get pull by Vosa on a routine stop they would remove it Perminatlt or slap a prohibition cert on it, why well they do that for if it does pass thought a MOT,it only u saying well not go thought MOT becouse of the hand brack, but if it does what give them the right 2 stop me and put prohibition cert on it when they not a MOT tester,one is i can get 2 the hand brack as easy as if it was not they,and if need be ok i make the hole biger, and i rember some on here say that my foot pedals would not pass the MOT with they on

Oh dear oh dear oh dear, Vosa are the people who run all Mot 's for every vehicle in th uk!!!!! They have the right to do as much as they want when in comes to vehicles, oh and by the way i was a Mot tester and those pedals are illegal unless they have raised rubber grommets on the brake and clutch pedal!!! Ask you mate who he is registerd with to be able to do Mots !!!

Well done Hercules,

take no notice of those who try to knock you....I have stuff in my van that I remove for MOT & then put back after & t hell with VOSA let em bring it on, slap it on, take It off...I'll but another.

But I was in the process of looking for a centre console myself, I was thinking of putting a small fridge there with a home made deal on the top of it.

I found they make centre consoles in America.

If yo log onto "gowesty.com" they have em..but shipping is a bit of a yuek!.
