Speedo Obstructed View

[johnhetherington]

Getting ever closer to the dreaded IVA and will be putting the Sierra steering wheel on just for the IVA.

I have placed the speedo and rev counter behind the steering wheel and with the Sierra wheel in place it obstructs part of the speedo.

I am sure there must be something in the manual to say you must be able to see the speedo at all times, sure I saw somewhere it said except when turning, but can't find that section.

Any pointers would be appreciated, getting a bit paranoid now the IVA is looming

Cheers

John

John,

 

Couldn't you knock up a pad to cover the Mountney steering wheel for IVA, but removable once the test is passed?

 

Good looking dash by the way

Thanks Al may try that, only question though is the horn push, why didn't i just use the Sierra dash and make life simple for myself or like Mower man suggests mount in the middle, but have gone too far now to change it.

Is the steering column adjustable in any way?

 

If you can raise it (for a short examiner) or vice versa, it might be ok.

 

It wasn't mentioned at my IVA so it might be ok. I used a standard sierra wheel which is larger so you could see through it better.

 

(Oh yes, nice dashboard too )
