I have metal plates on my peddles, but my tester never even mentioned them. Mine failed on a couple of things this year. One of them was a "wobbly" headlight, coz the plastic clips at the back had snapped. My garage were supposed to have fixed them when it was in for the break pipes. They didn't, and when I took her back for the re-test, the MOT guy was really cool about it. It just said, that he'd pass it but not give me the certificate, until it's fixed and I bring it back to show him.
Just goes ti show that there are some nice MOT guys out there.

Not sure on the size of the gap Reecy, but I think you're right that there is a minimum distance though.

My wife's corsa has had them on for the past 7 years, and it passes every year.
They do have to have a minimum space between them, I remember that being on the fitting instructions when i fitted them.

my sister had the same problem with her classic mini but they failed it because the accelerator pedal rubber was missing
When I was a kid i used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Then realised God doesn't work that way, so I stole one and prayed for forgiveness

If i remember correctly the early classic minis were made with a "bald" throttle pedal.

yep they are but the rubber to the pedal was on the floor out of his view so he didnt see it so failed it which fair enough he probably didnt think there was one there
