Evening all

As the evenings draw in I’ve started designing the wiring loom whilst I (impatiently!) wait for my kit to arrive.

I’ve seen a few Trikings and other reverse trikes with Lucas-style torpedo lights (eg Lucas 1130) on the front wheel arches. Is that acceptable for the MVSA? I see most are attached to the side of the headlight, which is obviously one less wiring challenge, but I’d be interested to know if it’s an option?

Both positions are ok for msva.
I've put indicators on the mudguards, hid the wires in a stainless tube tacked to the under edge of the mudguard bracket then up the underside of the guard. 2 wires needed.
If you haven't already got a copy, worth downloading the msva manual. So many things to check on. https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... ion-manual

Brilliant, thanks Tony - routing the wires was my next question!

I did rummage through the MVSA but could only find references to heights / distances, so that helps a lot. Thanks!

The magic tube.
Cable then glued with black stuff to mudguard and up to light.

That’s an elegant solution, thank you!

This was my solution using the same lamps as the Type 1's and giving a good clear signal.

Another elegant solution! Thank you!

Thank you.
I shortened the Headlamp mounting post too so no threads showing below nut.
