Advise Please For Iva Can Anyone See Anything That Could Fail

[Guest ollie chapman]

Hi Jonny, no you need side repeaters. I mounted ours under the wing mirrors. Actually on top, as per Chester Sports Cars Tigercat build, is better. Just so long as the IVA man sees them in the right place for him. Then after you've passed I guess you could mount them in a more sensible spot but don't quote me on that.

That's Olly can you post a pic on how you did yours really don't know where to put them don't want to make loads of holes in my car !

[Guest Jonnyround2003]

If I cut the real wheel holder off and mount the light on the back will that be ok for iva I can order some plastic dome caps to cover the holes so they won't be sharp

We didn't check your wheel nuts --- make sure there is 10/12 full turns before tight -- longer studs may not have been fitted by previous owners.

Ok thanks Bob

Bob would indicators on the front wings on the top be ok instead of on the wing mirrors for iva

As we said yesterday -- a lot of guys have passed IVA with side repeaters mounted on the outside edge of the front wings --- so they must be O.K for rear visibility past the rear wings.

As Bob said, the outside edge of the wings is the way to go, the rounded LED ones fit well with no sharp edges.

The drawing Figure 1 in section 20 (installation Of Lights) in the IVA manual shows the viewing angles. The side repeaters require 5 - 60 Degree viewing from the rear.

5 Degree from the front wheels should clear the rear wheel arches, so you will be OK there.

GBS put them on their factory cars and sell them too.

There were no problems with them for my IVA pass in July

Hi Johnny,

 

You can see here how I did mine and this was accepted as the correct way by the IVA tester who passed my car yesterday.

 

Cheers..Mark
