Hmmmmm, ok, I thought I needed to get an MOT before I can get a registration?
An MOT is not required for an Historic vehicle (over 40yrs). It has to be roadworthy to hit the public roads and to satisfy your insurance company but you are not obligated to take it for an annual test although for peace of mind many will still take their vehicle for a inspection/test.Hmmmmm, ok, I thought I needed to get an MOT before I can get a registration?
Again not needed, CoC is only for newer cars, you’ll only need the basic information .. Vin no, age, engine size, no of seats etc. I’ve got a link somewhere or a copy of one I’ve completed which will make more sense.The bit that I get confused with is all the extra information required in the V55 that would come from the Certificate of conformity. I thought the MOT would cover most of those points?
A dating letter is not needed if the vehicle has a title.Send me a series of hi-res images of exterior, interior inc speedo, engine compartment and importantly vin number and I'll do you a dating letter for dvla.
Here’s a link explaining registration.. Registration GuideOh yes please (trying not to sound like an eager school boy)
Ah yes, about that. So I have had both of the headlight mechanisms out and refurbed using the ‘large’ kit from Corvette Kingdom. However, I’m not 100% certain I have the spring arrangement correct. I have a couple of restoration books but none of them show a clear enough picture of how they are supposed to go. And I have no faith in how they were arraigned from how they were when I started, mainly because each one was different.
Any chance some else is in the process of pulling apart your headlights and can take a picture of how it’s supposed to look?
Gutted, as I took pictures of mine before I took them apart, to ensure correct replacement and I've stupidly deleted them from my phone! I'll hopefully have time and take some this morning and post them on here for you.Ah yes, about that.

Ah, so completely different to either configuration I started with. Cheers Jimbo!Hopefully these quickly taken photos assist, but if not, I can take some more in due course. They hopefully show you both units in the closed and open positions.
Not a problem, just make sure yours are actually vacuum operated and not been converted whilst engine was swapped !Ah, so completely different to either configuration I started with. Cheers Jimbo!
