[/i]Thanks for your views on this post, my reasoning is to keep wording on a National standard, personnel preferences cannot become part of the mot test.

“National Standards”?:? 

Where in “The Manual” are “torque plates” related to in braking systems?:?

Your second to last statment is contradictory?:?

“You also stated that “The Inspection” Is Visual, Which it is.;) How could You Not See anything?:?

I really do Hope that “YOU” had a constructive discussion with your workshop personnel about “Cleanliness” and re presentation of Vehicles for Retest.:D……..LOL.

Laters, Wes.:D

[size=3][font=Calibri]Torque plates are the same as brake back plates referred to in the manual at (3.5.1i). Various technical information produced has either referred to them as “Brake Back Plates”, “Dust Covers” or Torque plates, they must be distinguished from each other  so not to confuse back plates of drum brakes with back plates of disc brakes. Some technical information does not always make the point clear, i.e. dust covers used on commercial drum brakes as back plates. [/font][/size]

[size=3][font=Calibri]The second statement you say is contradictory, you may explain further for me to comment.[/font][/size]

[size=3][font=Calibri]You refer to me saying that the test is a visual inspection were I said I could not see the brake parts, I was referring to inside the brake drum assembly, you will recall I asked for your opinion with regards the doctor and the heart valve leaking, previous post.[/font][/size]

[size=3][font=Calibri]The workshop staff not being very clean in their repair work have had comments made to them, you can lead a horse to water, but cannot make it drink it?[/font][/size]

[size=3][font=Calibri]The problem with the motor trade is that it requires professional regulation to ensure all people involved do the job correctly, and like VOSA said some time last year, people who will not change must go.[/font][/size]
