Differences between SVA and IVA rules?
Has anyone done a brief roundup of any of the main differences between these yet? Kinda big things to watch out for during a build...

Current thinking (im not going to trawl through finding the references) is that you need to be slightly quieter (under 99db), have a reverse in a BEC
and a fixed headrest.
Oh and youll have to save up for another year as its gone to £500ish.

Brilliant,I guess i just need to get a copy of the IVA book and read those sections and see whats now required. I reckon most of its readily enough
covered tho?

finishing welds on my tank now!

Fuel tank inspection on draft IVA just says something like...
"Ensure tank for fuel is suitable for use, does not obstruct of foul other parts, is away from sources of heat and is suitably secured"

It means if you choose a plastic tank it needs to meet some EU rules, metal tanks are fine IIRC.
The latest v3 version of the IVA draft is in the sticky at the top of this section

That was my first thought - it cannot be anything too complicated, what could they possibly measure on the test?
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Well you could always read the draft to find out 
But in this case the draft doesn't seem to be finished - or if it is it's meaninglessly self referential.
quote:
Required Standard The vehicle as presented must be accompanied by
satisfactory evidence of compliance with the required standard
for “Fuel Consumption/CO2”
It's waived where the applicant accepts a CO2 figure determined by
the Secretary of State.
So it looks like you need to provide guesstimates for the urban, extra urban and combined fuel consumption and a CO figure in g/km.
Which seems to imply you'll get banded road tax rather than engine sized road tax. That's going to really hurt BECs and people who fit
jag engines

Makes sense for people who want a new reg (09/59 etc) but not for age related or Q registration. Something else for the nice people at the DVLA to
make up random policies on the spot.

The test is split in 2
The Basic Requirements and the Normal Requirements. The Fuel comsumption comes under the Normal requirements and my understanding is that an ameture
built vehicle only have to pass the Basic Requirements.
So the fuel consumption does not apply.
See page 6
