Nearly There

[Guest sadjagboy]

I've posted some pics of my car to get some feedback on what I might still need to do pre taking the car for IVA. I know I'll need to fit the other harness(!), but what about the dash edge, do I need to do more with it? and the square edge of my boot cover? All constructive comments most welcome, thanks in advance Angus

and some more...

[Guest sandy77uk]

Looks a nice build sir, engine bay looks a bit manic but i've no idea how it could be improved so good work

[knights_templar]

From your pics

 

radius on lower part of dash

 

front suspension, sharp edges, nut covers.

 

Wiring in engine bay, runs, armour, security

 

Regards

[knights_templar]

just noted

 

gaiter on track rod end

 

nut cover on headlight nut

 

looks really nice build

 

regards again

[Guest bluelewis]

I think you will also need a warning sticker on brake fluid reservoir

Looks a really good build i hope mine looks this good when im done

Is the hazard switch ok? Looks to project from the surface of the dash so it should have a minimum 2.5mm radius all round.

 

Looks like you're almost there. I'm busy ploughing through the last few issues on mine.

Looks good Angus - well done

 

Does the horn switch need the "standard" symbol on it ?

[Guest sadjagboy]

Thanks for the pointers and the complimentary comments, going to go and look at the wiring in the engine bay and give it some more thought. Also hadn't thought about the hazard switch. Might need to move it to the exemption area...

 

Any thoughts on the corner of the boot cover, I'm thinking I might have to round it off a bit.

 

Many thanks

 

Angus

thanks Robin, I'm only about 2 years behind schedule! Another good point, might try asking when I get my IVA appointment through, currently still 'searching' for my receipts....

The IVA manual says this:

 

Where provided Identification of Controls, Tell-tales and Indicators;

1.

Must be clear so not to cause confusion.

2.

Must be on or as close to the controls, tell-tales and indicators as possible as not to cause confusion.

3.

Must stand out clearly from the background.

 

So I'd expect HORN written by the switch as opposed to the symbol would be OK.

Thanks for the clarification, haven't read the IVA manual for a good while, must look at it and check that I got all my light heights etc correct.

The IVA manual says you need a central mirror, actually an inside mirror and and an offside.

 

You could recess your hazard warning switch if the button is over 5mm high.

 

Add a cable tie to wiring running underneath rear nearside suspension support.
