SVA Light Heights

[Grease Monkey]

I've looked and can't find this info, other than a post 2 years ago, so....

Anyone (Dave ?!) know what the lens heights have to be for indicator, brakes, reflectors and whatever else mr SVA gets a cob-on about?

GD blurb gives the not very useful advice to put 1.5" preload on the rear and 1" on the front, or words to that effect.

Is it something like 350mm from floor to the bottom of the (indicator) lens ?

Found it eventually P93 of 178 !! For anyone else needing this info its:

Tail Lights 350 - 1500mm from the floor, not more than 400mm from the side
Stop Lights 350 - 1500mm from the floor, not closer than 400 apart
Fog light 250mm - 1000mm from the floor, positioned to the offside, more than 100mm from Stop Light
Indicators 350 - 1500mm from the floor, not more than 400mm from the side and not less than 500mm apart.
Reflectors 250 - 900mm from the floor, not more than 400mm from the side and not less than 600mm apart

Headlights 500mm.
Should this one go into the "Really useful info" section?...Now what did Rob say about that???

Do we have a really useful info section?!!

I can think of about 20 questions that get asked again and again that new builder/members could be directed to first!
