Hey guys, as some are aware I'm doing my own "cafe" type build and as such need a few answers before i do something that'll fail an mot.
I'm making my own rear seat and want clarification if it has to cover a certain proportion of the rear tyre or not. For example does it have to cover the highest centre point, or are there no rules. And similarly does a rule/law exist on rear mudguards/Huggers?
Finally what's the law on the position of the number plate? I know it's got to be a set size and be vertical (ish), but can it be tucked under the seat, quite far forward... Or does it have to be the rearmost point?
Thanks guys. Need some answers before I make the seat!
Cheers
