IVA external projections - I think I know...

Evening All,

Planning for IVA is continuing and I wanted to check a couple of things with the intelligentsia...

Firstly, I think my exhaust tailpipe looks okay, yes?

Next, the bonnet straps aren’t going to pass but if I get my in-house seamstress (wife loves to sew - NHS scrubs at present BTW) to replace the leather and belt buckle with vinyl and Velcro or snap-poppers that should be okay, right?

Finally, these bonnet pins are never going to pass, but what if I file the riveted-on bit flat and then use a snap-ring (think posh circular carabiner key-ring) with a 5mm dia instead of the push-through bar?

Cheers!

P.S. can anyone recommend a suitable immobiliser?

Exhaust is fine.

You could fit covers over the other parts, thinking a thicker stretchy material sewn into a pocketed shape with an elasticated opening and just put over the offending parts. I did the same for my harness mounts.

Could you make sleeves from neoprene (wetsuit) material to slide over the bonnet straps? They could be slid back to buckle and then pulled down over them once done up.

Something similar to cover the boot pins. A flap traped under it that folds over the top once pinned and held down with a press-stud?

Are actions that temporary-looking likely to be good enough?

No, their criteria are, "permanent, durable & serviceable", however, if you have a good seamstress on hand then the neoprene material could make some excellent covers & velcro would be adequate as method of attachment





I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours. http://shop.ebay.co.uk/furoreproducts/m.html?_dmd=1&_ipg=50&_sop=12&_rdc=1

Caterham actually sell rubber covers for IVA for their bonnet catches. No good here but shows the idea is suitable.

You dont need an immobiliser if you have two items of security?

Ignition key and steering barrel lock are two items,if you have them!

Otherwise any Thatcham approved immobiliser off Ebay will be fine

Yes, I think the neoprene covers for the belt-type straps will work well. I’m less sure about the bonnet pins bit believe I can see a way of doing that.

More to follow - thanks for the advice all.
