Will My Side Mirrors Pass Iva

[fry61]

Go on then, show us your mirrors --- whistles & sharp intakes of breath will maybe follow.

Sadly I would think not, not only on field of vision but they , on the photos anyway, look too small. Sorry :-(

[theduck]

Have checked measurements and all mirrors meet or exceed the required sizes for IVA

[fry61]

Sorry Stuart, but on another point --- where are your side repeaters?

 

Section 08 deals with all mirror requirements ( IVA manual)

Front cycle wings, Bob. They are the little button types so you cant see them in those photos, can jsut about see them in this one

Great Stuart, don't wish to rattle your cage; just get you a pass.

[Graham B]

Stu, Your wing mirrors may be a bit too low too. The rear arches block a lot of what the examiner needs to see.

My poor memory then, was sure at Florin's test the tester said " screen mirror didn't meet field of view requirements ; but that it didn't matter as wing mirrors did ".

 

Must check IVA manual --- when time permits & slumber eludes me.

Had a look at section 08 in the IVA manual -- centre (windscreen) & drivers wing mirror are the " must have" items but if field of view insufficient with centre mirror the passenger side wing mirror can be used instead. All mirrors must try to comply with the red,green/blue poles/triangles as necessary.

Mirror size is best measured with a piece of card -- 40 x 80mm -- if it fits on glass with small amount of mirror showing all round, its big enough.

 

At this point it was 1am so went to bed -- eyes being already closed.

another point i seem to remember was that mirrors should be foldable ie. if you hit a pedestrian they should fold in. But i believe this only applies if the wingmirror projects futher than the wheel line (which yours don't). Just incase you decided to put them on 2 foot poles sticking out each side for a better view

Can see over the arches so will cross fingers.

Stu,

My mirrors are in a very similar position and passed, I can see over the arches.

The duck where did you get the hand brake gaiter from I want one thanks Jon

[theduck]

The handbrake surround I bought at Stoneleigh a few years back, the leatherette was a scrap piece I had, I just screwed it into the tunnel top.
