Little bit more progress
Hi Guys,
Just thought i would share some more progress.... We had a mad rush for SVA but didnt make it, but in doing so, made some more progress which is
always good :p
Managed to fit plastic fuel tank and fuel lines, which will have to be redone for IVA now for a ally tank....
Brakes all in but damaged one of our brake lines getting engine in so got to redo a brake line down the transmission tunnel.
Engine issues with alternator etc.. all sorted. Just electrics/ecu and to mount radiator before the first start.
Propshaft in...
Dash done
So here are some photos:

looks good. Why do you have to change the fuel lines, not just the tank?

Some of the rear fuel lines because the tank for IVA has to be in a differnt position, it needs to be above diff for IVA now... so the fuel lines at
the back need to be altered to suit that.
I spoke to VOSA and they said as long as the spokes on the momo steering wheel are padded, it will pass. So a job todo before IVA is to pad the
steering wheel.

Where in the IVA manual does it say the tank needs to be above the diff - mine isn't so I checked the manual but can see nothing about tank
height?

I spoke to VOSA/SVA man ref fuel tanks, here is a summary of what they said:
Fuel tank location will not need to change, as long as there are no bolts/sharp edges that would punture the tank in the event of a rear end
collision. They have issues when people fit spare wheel carriers etc, that have bolts that stick through into the area adjacent to the tank. If this
was pushed forward, clearly it could damge the tank. If you don't have a load of bolts, and you do have some structural metal work to the rear
of the car (unlike a GTS which is just GRP) then the tank can stay where it is....

Your tank is exactly where mine, and most everybodies, is. The IVA mentions piercing by projections as an issue so I guess that means - as twybrow
says - it should be ok depending on what you put on the back panel. Please check before making statements like tank relocation requirements!!!

Yes if you have a load of bolts sticking through, and yes if you dont add an upper edge to the boot area (the only metal is at the bottom, the top is
just GRP on the GTS Panther). Otherwise, no, you'll be fine.

Ive just phoned obp and he is making me a top rail for mine. I am using a Luego panel any way.
So with a couple of vertical stays it should solve that one

Im going to get a smaller tank for IVA, put in a differnt position then put it back after IVA with my nice largeish plastic tank after and hopefully
not have to do any major replumbing.
It just isnt worth the risk of having to pay £90 more for a retest

i have been building since march 08
but its not a race eddie,
your build is excellant quality and would be a shame if you rushed it..
i have the advantage of early days from work and having helped build 3 cars already can sometimes see easier way of doing jobs....
if you even need a hand just give me a shout..
cheers gavin
