Bah
Yup mate,
I have the original kit from Marlin.
Like you I argued that it had been accepted else where.
However I was then advised that Robin Hood had tried to pull the same stunt on their kits and challenged the VOSA decision.
It boils down to will the bar hold 3 ton back in the event of heavy duty breaking, my examiner said that as the bar bent under his own strength it was unlikely to hold back the above mentioned weight.
I asked what it would take for him to approve, he said replace the whole thing with 3 point standard harness either static or inertia.
Just cant win with the bar, anyone have a set of 3 points I can borrow till through SVA?
Regards Trev
