Yes, I have a draft copy of the MSVA guidelines to work to initially but most of it is common sense so I can varify the details as I build. I will get hold of the proper book soonish.

It is a bit of a mad build as I am aiming to keep it under 350kg plus batteries but the motor alone is 110kg! I could use a much, much smaller motor but we all want bigger power plants!

The wire wheels weigh a bit too so I am doing to have to keep the chassis weight really low.
Any thoughs about MSVA restrictions on a laminated wood veneer body shell?

I am also thinking about the side by side seating but having the steering column moveable sideways, in the same way as height adjustment but keeping the wheel angle the same, and then being able to sit on the right when there is two of us or in the middle when solo. I would have to move the seat belt, 4 point harness, to different mounts.
Mounting a mini digital dash on the column would make sure all the instruments and switches move with the steeringh column.
