Adrian may be right there - the only IVA compatible rings are the half-round profile. There are ways around it - (if you pardon the pun) - a layer
of lovely hardboard to prevent the sphere touching the rings or some sort of rubber trim. I'm another one who's also very impressed by
the modification speed you are working at!

Wasn't there a problem a while ago with the steering wheel exemption zone? I though you had to have some kind of screen to mark the boundary
between interior and exterior. Might be a problem, are you planning to put an aeroscreen on?

Wasnt planning to. Not read anything in the manual about it?

I know it's not in the manual but i'm sure someone had a problem recently with it. Probably just a tester being a bit of a jobsworth.

You've mentioned having a warning light with the correct symbol on for the brake fluid and a plain red one for the handbrake and I think from
the pictures that your reservoir has a push to test button on top. Usually these days there is only the one light, so the handrake acts as a lamp
test. I'm sure there was some mention when IVA was coming in (but it might have been dropped) that the lamp should be able to be tested from the
driver's seat?

Yep most people link it with the hand brake and pull that to test.
