Head lights
Dave Bailey - 13/10/09 at 04:42 PM

I have made some headlight brackets and to cut a long story short I was a bit tight on the 500mm min to the ground. I can get the dimension but the lights tend to sit in between the Nose cone and the Cycle wing. This means that straight on you can see the lilghts but viewed from the side the far light will be covered by the nose cone... Will this be a problem for IVA?

thanks

IIRC has to be visible from a 45 degree angle from the lens

I think these are still current:-

From the old SVA manual

Light Angles

and

Need some help here to make sure I have read it correctly. The IVA manual seems to state 45 degrees outward and 10 degree inwards? Anyone know if this is whole surface visible or 50%?

thanks
