what was the waiting time for the test from the day you paid?

Good news. Did you get to choose the date or do you have to go with what's offered?

They dont like those stick on cable tie mounts at iVA and insist if being used they are held in with a rivet.

Looks a good build

My only comment/observation was the bonnet catches, but you appear to have covered them now so should be OK on those.

Best of luck with the IVA.

It was SVA when I did it some years ago. My inspector was good and very fair on his assessment. A couple of minor fails, but easily sorted and passed the retest no worries. Getting the plates on and taking to the road was certainly a buzz

I am working on mine still for the IVA test. That's what the garage that was working on my car years back ( lost my Garage to work on the build myself ) used as well before I got it back (They charged way to much for what was done Plus I have a new garage now ) How else can you fix them them as it's on the body tub I don't what rivet's showing on the outside of the body tub

Looking great, how are you feeling about the IVA? (excited or s#!tting yourself!)





If it ain't broken, fix it anyway (just because).

your build looks really neat and you are you asking the experienced for advice on possible IVA issues, I doubt you will have any problems with the IVA. If anything the DVLA registration process might be the stumbling block.

Very best of luck for the IVA and hopefully see you at stoneleigh with your freshly registered car.

+1 Car looks really neat and this is bound to go a long way with the inspector. IVA isn't actually as bad as everyone makes out - if you've read the manual and followed the advice on here then you should be fine. The inspectors (in my experience) want you to pass too and are quite helpful. The only stumbling blocks I had were things I couldn't test at home (brake balance and emissions) and a couple of little trim things I could fix there and then.

Took 5 weeks for my reg docs to come through, so with luck you might make Stonleigh

Looks great, I'm prepping for my IVA start of April, worried there is so much that it could fail on. Emission and noise are my worry, I had the decibel meter app and it was bang on 99db average so no idea!

Question as I have same issue, will your exhaust silencer pass on the forward edge radius, just before it goes into the exhaust wrap?

Good luck!

Got a coiple of questions...

1: I have a 1 or 2 nut covers that are a loose fit, am I allowed to stick them down with something(silicon etc)
2: I have a very slight amount of play on my steering column where it passes through the triangular bush... can i shim it?
3: My fuel tank vent pipe is cable tied to my rollcage rear leg and hangs down to just below the rear tub. does this have to be secured with clips and how much should I leave hanging

They sometimes ask you to pop the nut covers off to check how much thread is showing through the nylocity, I used some bluetac inside them so they could come off easily but not fall off.

They see cable ties as temporary so I'd go with clipping them, have you got a breather roll over valve? My breather goes up about 6 inches above the tank and stops there.

Shouldn't be an issue with shimming your steering shaft, mine is powder coated and is damn tight in the bush.

Is stearing angle checked at all on IVA, I致e been moving the garage around today and I have drift car level of steering angle, nothing touches or rubs anywhere. I can fit some bumpstops onto the steering rack now befor the tracking gets done next week if needed.

I'm going to be so close on noise, and no idea on emissions as running carbs.
Everything else should be good!
If I pass maybe I'll get to stoneleigh!

I seem to be running out of time to get done the little jobs done befor the IVA.

I've removed the sticky pads from the rear lights, added longer bolts and p-clipped the wiring to them.

Tidied up the foot weels and added carpet under the dash.
[img][/img]

Edge trimmed around the exhaust.
[img][/img]

Brake resevoir marked up.
[img][/img]

And had my front hoses shortened to loose the pig tail. Hopefully these should be ok??? nothing catches on either lock. I have added some fuel hose as protection to where I'm going to cable tie it to the bottom wishbone.

More to come asap

I'm not sure what the IVA inspector will think about the brake hoses cable tied to the wishbone, they won't see this as a permeant fixing and may have an issue with it? Don't quote me this is just my suspicion .
