IVA Pics - IVA on tueday...
Hi Guys,
Please can you have a look at my build and let me know if you spot any IVA fail points.
IGNORE the holes in the scuttle. that's where my repeaters once were. will fill the holes before IVA
I also have a bonnet to put on obviously.
I also am going to get the tracking done tomorrow so have not yet covered the track rods.

Gotta say thats looking pretty good though.

Nose cone has no grille. Fog and reverse lights are on the wrong sides. Can you vent the engine breather to atmosphere via a filter? Thought it had
to be recirculated. Looks very nice.

-camber adjuster locknut needs covering
-not sure eyebolts on seatbelts are iva compliant either
-you need some 25-30mm pipe around under the spring collet on the front shocks as they have sharp edges
-reverse lever labeling?
-pipes from brake resivoir to cylinder need cabling to secure them more
-seems stupid but i had my foglight mounted like you and it wasnt mounted vertical and that was a fail
-you have taken the sierra wheel off if you have the horn piece for it so that its as you would see it in the sierra then put that back
on as it will defiantly pass as it is already on a production car

very very nice
What colour is it?
It looks very tidy and well put together.
Is the fog light vertical?
Will it get a grill?
Wing Mirror mounts?

Firstly I must say what a nice looking car you have built.
A couple of things I have noticed. Do you have a grill to fit as they might pick up on some radius's possibly.
Secondly the fog and reverse lights are the wrong way round. The fog light has to central or on the offside of the car.
Hope that helps
Dave

camber adjustment nut has self imalgimating_ tape around

Track rods = to be covered after tracking is done

I will adjust the fog light to be vertical and swap them over - doh thats a mission!

Is fog light vertical and you need a label on bias bar set up worded as in IVA manual
Think you need an oil catch tank too.

Hi
Your rear FOG and REVERSE lights are on the wrong sides.
Fog MUST be on the right and Reverse can be on any side.
HTH

Sorry Dave didn't see your post

You have done an absolutely cracking job, there - but you wanted some input...
Firstly, The volume inside the assumed planes of the two front wishbones is exempt from radius issues - your top mount of the coilover will need
edging if it both falls outside of this virtual 'box' AND it can be contacted with the 100mm sphere.
Secondly - they will definitely frown on the temporary nature of the steering wheel crash - pad - put the sierra one back on for the test.
Third (and lastly) the Foglight will fail (as others have said) because its on the wrong side and it MUST be fitted on a vertical orientation. The
fog lens is designed to concentrate the emitted light and throw a parrallel beam out - this has to be parrallel to the floor.
Other than that, check that safety - related bolts all have locking devices on them - usually nylocs, but tabs are used in some places. This applies
to suspension bolts, steering column / rack / extensions, braking eg master cylinder mounts. My major fail point was where the steering column
joined to the extension there was no locking device.
Best of luck for next week.

Thanks for the input, I know the steering wheel cover is crap but the sierra one wont fit with my mk3 fiesta shroud. I'll order a IVA friendly
steering wheel if thats whats needed?
