Steering Arm routine bring up

[Ron Hayhurst]

 Hi Ruairidh,
There are plenty of readers who can better answer this one, but I understand that when submitted there should be no paint on the steering arm and that it should be polished, particularly in the inside radius where cracking commences. It is then given a close visual inspection - if you can see a crack at this stage it will almost certainly have some depth to it!. It follows, I think, that having done such preparation, the intending driver will have "heaved the offending arm out into the night" rather than refit it!
The brief method described was  the case a few years ago and it is probably more demanding now. A check with the VSCC will provide the latest requirements.
