    Re: Mot

    My MOT man does the same and takes the car down the road with a mobile brake test device on board. He dare not drop the car onto the brake test rollers as it is too low.

    Annoying fail with a nick on a rear TB15 and wiper not clearing the screen.
    At IVA, tester wanted oversize wiper blade to cover more of the screen, wasn't concerned if it lifted at the edges.
    MOT man wants wiper in contact all the time, so back to shorter blade! As always, in the eye of the beholder....
    Hopefully sorted tomorrow.

    Thank you David, but they are fronts not rears, tempting though. 29/61-15 Michelin TB15 was what I needed.
    Car has gone through now, swapped some spare wheels with TB5s and different wiper blade so the MOT man was happy.
    All set for another year...

    Too wide for the front Struan, but not wide enough for your rear 12" rims. Perfect for 9" and 10" though.

    Yep rears, I used them on 10's, great for sprints, for everything bar torrential rain. This one is my unused spare .
    May even consider selling the two used ones too. Still tread left and can also be re cut. Doubt if I'll do any more sprints to be honest, not got the time or money anymore!

    For some reason MOT man always puts down Lancia on the certificate!
    Presumably it is still valid...
