Fitting odometer to SR3
Discussion
Not sure if anyone has done this, but new insurance policy states that I need to be able to record mileage as I have it on a 1500 mile limited policy - clearly they don't understand that if you drive an SR3 for more than that on the road per year you'd be locked up!!
Any advice welcome - though I know very few of the Radical's have been made road legal.

Having spoke to Radical about this issue myself, I didn't gain an awful lot of information.
However, SR3's are purchased by the Japanese market and for them to be road legal over there they have to have an odometer.
As usual Radical were very vague, and their response was "well, I guess one could be fitted".
Anyone interested, give it a go - 01733 331717 - you will probably have to keep harrassing them to get anything out of them though.
Russell: when I had the SR3 insured with Adrian Flux it was on a limited mileage policy. Although not advisable, I had to give them an "estimated" milage...
P.S. How's the yellow thing working out around the roads of Lincolnshire?

Eventually the insurance company and I came to an arrangement - I now just estimate each year... took them a while to accept that the car really didn't have an odometer, but we got there!!
I looked for a while and the only thing was the bike (push-bike!!) option - but frankly I don't think the insurance company would have accepted that as valid as it would have been very easy to manipulate, therefore really not worth it.
As for Radical advice, the words chocolate and teapot come to mind!!!
Good luck with it anyway - if you want to meet up for a trackday sometime drop me a line - I can let you know of the tricks come MOT time (great fun when the car won't fit onto most ramps!).
