Just checking tank and hose for IVA

Hi,

Getting on fine with the rebuild but as it's based on a 10 year old kit, a couple of things are nagging me as to if they'd pass the IVA. First is the tank filler, sadly it's not welded on but just a rubber gasket, not sure this is an issue or not. The other is the braided hoses, these appear to be bolted together and I seem to remember that not being allowed these days?

Anyone know?

Thanks

I have IVA'd two Caterhams, one last year and one in 2016, both had the same brake hose fittings and they both passed first time no problem.
Hope this helps.
Cheers
Ian

Hope they pass as I'm making mine in the next week or two.

Wonder why I thought they weren't permitted...

There was something about reusable fittings in the IVA or sva manual. Everyone assumed it meant these. It didn't/ was clarified. No idea what it did mean.
