Can anyone who has had an IVA recently confirm that these radii are checked. Ta.

No, but yes  Sent the forms out today, so going through a (long) list of IVA related topics.
On the subject of self centering, what did you do? I know I could do a search, but that brings up a lot of, sometimes,
contradictory advise. So I would appreciate advise from someone who has just gone through IVA with an Indy

I must check the manual more closely, I thought they had rescinded the floor line exclusion
Nice colour scheme Mr ReMan, shows a person with impeccable taste
Just checked:
"The assessment will not apply to exterior mirrors"
"Note the floor line its self is subject to the requirements of RS2 i.e. the 2.5mm radius requirement applies."
Oh well! Out with the file.
Interesting that exterior mirrors are exempt.

Colour scheme?, yes, its the only one befitting of such a vehicle 
Radius, thats a bummer.
Could use some self adhesive pac-man profile rubber?

Hi, my Indy was IVA'd 2012 and the side panel radii were definitely checked at the Norwich VOSA station, i cant remember if they checked the
back panel underside though. I purchased the kit in 2009 and I think MK has adjusted the radii along the underside of these panels once the test
changed from SVA to IVA. I bought a cheap radius checker tool from ebay just to make sure anyway.
I kept a close eye on Dunk3's build pics during my build and he used some ally hockey trim to increase the radii along these panels (I'm
fairly sure he had the older/SVA MK bodywork but I might be wrong)

yeh I wasn't sure at the time so called them and they said "it'll be ok". Given my previous experience with them, I
wasn't 100% convinced it actually would be ok so decided to check it myself with the radius tool I bought and it was over 2.5mm. Assumed they
must have changed it at some point since dunk used the extra ally trim along the under side of his build to increase the radius in this area

Self centering is affected by caster/KPI
For the test high front tyre pressure (30psi) and some toe out helps on any car

We just did as snapper said & it scrapped through
After the test got some rose jointed wishbones from MK
This enabled us to get 7.5-8 degrees of castor angle
This improved the self centring , but not as good as a tin top.

My kit is circa 1999, and the chassis is a Locost/Indy hybrid, the side panels are very square on the bottom

Thanks for that snapper, I had a DOH! moment after spending a day making up a string box, and setting the geometry
Out with the string box again then!
