SVA and interior trim
gahgah - 17/7/08 at 07:55 PM

If I only cover the tunnel but leave the inside of the outer panels naked ie. chassis exposed will I fail SVA. Chassis is a Tiger Cat.
I just want to get SVA as soon as poss.

My Indy passed like that - I never trimmed the inside of the side panels as I liked the look that way

hope it'll be ok as I have no intention of trimming mine out either

Me either.

My side panels are just bare chassis tubes and tunnel is ally with vinyl glued on . passed last week so no problems, so long as there are no sharp edges it's fine

I passed to with exposed chassis rails

I passed with bare everything in the cockpit, including all the internal aluminium panelling. Put duct tape over the joins on the ali panels, so there would be no sharp edges, etc. I built it to drive not look smart, you can always tidy it up post SVA and then won't have to worry about SVA testers so you can put in what you like

I passed on wednesday the steel tubes when painted/powder coated have no sharp edges so no need to cover them

Thanks everybody - that's very reassuring.
I'll go trimless!

My Mac#1 passed in same level of trim.

Im almost surprised that people who trim theirs out arent made to remove it so tester can see some cross bracing in that area.
