Battery

Indicators outermost then side/brake lights looking at how road cars are setup.

Ta!

Turn indicators outside, running light/brake light inside.

What does your local MoT inspector say? MoT documentation?

As far as I know there's nothing in either the construction and use regs or the MoT to determine layout for lights. But the IVA does stipulate lights are in certain positions. As Adam said, logically you'd put the indicators outermost for the greates effect, then the brake lights, and finally the reflectors on the inside. If I recall Westfield supply some nasty rectangular e marked reflectors. If you are careful (think I used double sided tape) you can mount them temporarily for the IVA then ditch them for some round ones that look the part.

Thanks All.

Reason I ask is that I am replacing a lamp holder and just happened to notice that the build manual has the side/brakelights outboard.

I've installed my new gel battery now (and my fasteners have all arrived), but the cabling is temporary. I think that drilling and riv-nutting a new NEG point into the chassis opposite the factory hole (or drilling all the way through as already) would make for a tidier install. I think the original battery tray would make a good mounting point for the punture repair kit (Nealy plus CO2).
