S7 And Iva

[theduck]

I thought it would a useful resource for the collective to out together details and photos of what needs doing to get an S7 through IVA. I have listed below the areas and works required as I understand them, if people who have them completed could provide photos that would be great.

 

Add bar to roll frame to run harnesses over to raise to required height.

 

 

Reinforce rear mounting bar

 

 

Metal bars from steering column mounts to scuttle supports

 

 

Load spreading plates for lower seat belt mounts

 

 

Anything else or photos please add details below.

Hi S7 owners going to IVA,

 

One problem with this list is, it depends on just how the car has been built.

Take the item

Load spreading plates for lower seat belt mounts from above.

You will probably need to reinforce the area around the seat mountings, often the rear one can be incorporated with seat belt lower mountings.

 

Again depending on where you mount the Handbrake, you may need to reinforce the hand brake mountings, again this can be incorporated in the front seat mountings.

 

I believe the windscreen upper aluminum channel had square outer edges. Theses need a radius, it may be easier to purchase a new channel.

 

All the IVA padding to the front suspension. (Including Nut covers all over the top ( that which can bee seen when looking at the car from anywhere other than underneath) )

2 threads beyond all nyloc lock nuts.

Thanks Alan. My list is by no means definitive, just what I have managed to put together.

 

Edit. Also it is meant as a list if S7 specific items, rather than those affecting all Kits such as bolt covers etc.

Windscreen edge if not one of the newer surrounds needs blunting.

As its ally I rounded it off roughly with a file then sanding disc followed by wet & dry then polished
