Good luck!. It deserves to pass. I did a MGB v8 conversion years ago and also worried about not passing. Like you, i took the paperwork serious. The actual one off homologation test went very smooth and in less then an hour, i was out again and 2 weeks later i received the V8 registration. The test for your car differs from a simple mgb V8 conversion but they must notice how serious your approach is and the very high quality of the build so i put my money on that it will pass

Just recheck all the rolling radius calcs are correct for the speedo so not under-reading and only over reading by the allowable percents.

With all the spare time you'll have, you'll be able to write a book on what you had to do to pass! Looking forward to reading that it's been approved.

If mine can get through the stringent testing process we have with zero preparation, I'm sure this'll fly through a little IVA.
But if it doesn't, may all your items be little ones. 😊

Tyres,15,5" wide or not,are inherently evil and deserve to be punished 😜
