Field of view obstruction

I'm mid way through my mid engined buggy build. Looking to the SVA test - are the "a pillars" going to be in an illegal part of my field of view do you think?

Any one know the exact regs on this one? Thanks,
James

PS. sorry for the silly pose, I was checking dash/wheel location

Certainly wouldn't have thought so - have you seen the size of modern A pillars to pass 5 star crash test? Take a look at a Zafira, more pillars than screen!





I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours. http://shop.ebay.co.uk/furoreproducts/m.html?_dmd=1&_ipg=50&_sop=12&_rdc=1

Surely that's a MIG engined car?

Sorry, I'll get me coat...

ISTR the NCF blitz looked similar. Oh yes, just found it!

Typical for me...

Can't even get a simple quip right
Shows you all my level of experience with welding though

Someone should tell me to get back in my garage (or lay off red wine!)
