Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!

[Grizz1963]

An MOT question for the English readers on here.


Amazingly, I have now owned this truck for a year, or 1000 miles of use.

MOT is due the end of the month and tax yesterday.

I am hoping it will pass the MOT……



EXCEPT FOR ONE THING.




Airbag light in the dash.

The steering was replaced with a non airbag sports unit before I got the truck and the light covered by a bit of tape.

Now to me, that makes sense and I do not have a problem with that.

However…….

What is the general consensus and also who has tested cars like that before ?

Thanks.

I think it depends on the tester TBH.
I would put tape back over the lamp.
Im sure there are plenty that will say - "if it was fitted with an airbag - it needs one and will fail"
Grizz - get your 66 rolling and you wont need to worry about such things :-)

I have refitted the UK spec license plates, and tossed the airbag steering wheel behind the seat.
Black tape was there before.
Will ask if they will allow it through before getting the test, or do they insist on steering wheel being changed

And yes, 66 needs to be next, after Rezin Rockit.
