Well, after spending the last two days in the pouring rain fitting the refurbished wings, front panel and lights, my 1967 Carawagon went in for its MOT today - and failed
![thud :thud:](./images/smilies/thud.gif)
Nothing serious, but I really should have noticed the faults before I took it in.
A bolt missing from the transmission brake relay to chassis

I don't know how I missed that, but it was obvious once it was up on ramps and my MOT guy showed me

Insecure steering box - again, something only obvious up on ramps with a helper swinging on the steering wheel, and a ball joint on the steering box drop arm.
I'm really annoyed as I normally get Patrick, (or last time SWMBO

Anyway, all is not lost; a couple of hours to sort those out and a quick check by my MOT guy and it should be on the road ready for Ripon

Not bad really, as I think the last time it was on the road was at least 4-5 years ago, and that was to recover it from a field in Wales, with a broken chassis, so I've no idea when the last MOT was.
At least my chassis patches passed scrutiny
