Can't imagine it would be a testing issue, but bear in mind that when the swivels leak, the oil runs down the guard. No guard, oil on disc perhaps?

New swivels just fitted plus 'gay' bailcast rubber gaiters! - wot do you think? - its gonna be a good few weeks before Mr MOT Man gets at it (should i loose the bailcast thingies?)

cheers

It's not an MOT thing, they're just a dust/mud shield and I know lots of people who run without them.

Are you talking swivel gaiters? I'd run without - unless they're 100% sealed, crud gets in but can't get out, and of course you can't *see* the crud or clean it off. Just run without and keep your balls clean :blink:
