Phase 1 completion..what is required for an MOT

[Mr Phaeton]

Hi all,

Hopefully this will be the year that I finally get my 'phase 1' dutton phaeton S4 back on the road for my maiden voyage since buying it back in 2009! I striped it right down and installed it with a 2lt pinto with side exit exhaust.  Having now moved house and not done much on her for a few months or 6, I have been making the list for phase 1 completion!!!  However there are a few things that I don't know where I stand, can anyone out there help me out?? 

With phase 1 in mind and passing an MOT could anyone advise me on the following:   

1. Do I require a windscreen?
2. Do I require dials/gauges i.e speedo, fuel gauge?
3. What mirrors are required?

Any feedback/advice would be gratefully received.

Thanks

Matt.

1.  No windscreen required AFAIK but if you do have one you need washers/wipers.
2.  Not sure about the speedo etc. but my guess is yes.
3.  Minimum of interior and drivers door/wing mirrors I think. If no interiror mirror then I think you need a passenger door/wing mirror too.

If I'm wrong someone will be along soon to tell me

Suggest you become a supporting member by paying £10, you will then be issued a membership no. and be entitled to all BKCC discounts incl. an MOT for £35 through FCM in Bristol.  If you speak with John at FCM he will be able to advise on the MOT items from a testers perspective.

I'm sure wipers are not required, you get an advisory that they are not fitted. Washers if fitted, then are not tested either.

Mirrors I'm not sure about, I think you only need 2, one of those needs to be a drivers side rear view.

Thanks for all you feedback.
