Shockprotectas for IVA
AdrianH - 29/7/09 at 08:17 PM

Has anyone tried these to protect the coil overs and passed IVA/SVA with them covering any sharp objects like the locking ring and adjuster?

It seems a better bet then using a CV joint rubber.

I considered them but they were expensive from Demon Tweks (the only place I'd seen them at the time). Is that price for a pair?

I ended up using r/c car tyres top and bottom (for SVA not IVA) - passed fine and the tread pattern matches by R888's.

i got some bike inner tube, split it in length then wraped it round and glued it
cost = nothing

I used some left-over tadpole beading* wrapped around the adjusting ring, held in place with a tie-wrap (lumpy bit at the back, out of the way). I used a plastic nut cover on the adjuster - it's still there!

* the stuff used between the rear wings and the body.

I used a cut down gland use by sparkies superglued the joint this was SVA though not IVA

I didn't put anything on mine, not even nut covers and it wasn't commented on.

The only edge trim I put on the whole car was along the cockpit side rails and the outer edges of the front cycle wings.

Had not thought of using a nut cover on the adjuster, that is something I can try tomorrow, M12 I assume.

The price may be each not sure.

Thanks for the replies
