I like the look of toggle switches for my electrics, in particular those with switch guard loops like these;
Do these allow a toggle switch to pass IVA, as long as the ball of doom can't hit the switch itself? I know you can get a rack of them from a
Mini, would that be IVA ok?
That is there exact purpose.
Yes but I'd use the switches with a rounde metal toggle so the tip passes the radius test anyway
I used something like this:

With a nut on either side of the dash panel, and the nut rounded off by a domed nut cover with a 6mm hole drilled in it. It passed fine and was a lot
cheaper than the purpose built switch guards
Oh, I also blackened them in old oil.

It's worth noting that you've got to use an M6 or higher U-bolt otherwise it doesn't meet the minimum 2.5mm radius requirement.
There's so much in the IVA which seems to vary from tester to tester, I was lucky in that I had the same guy every time!
Fail
I imagine this is one of those random fails that no one will ever see again.

Just add them after IVA, use small push buttons to pass.

I did my SVA test in 2005.
At that time I had the original Sierra steering wheel on the car - it was quite large
Switches positioned behind the steering wheel, and in an exclusion zone around the steering wheel, were exempt.
I don't know if it's still the same but....
