As you are building a manufacturer's kit car, then I would say not that important to be honest...

Most of the sva requirements are more common sense than anything else but there are a few areas which need to be exact (lighting issues predominantly) so download the manual in the posted link and use it as a reference guide but don't get obsessed by some of the extreme detail stuff.

SVA manuals are useful and handy to have but with a resource like Locostbuilders at your fingertips, it's not essential.

is this extreme? "Bend radii should exceed 3 times the tube diameter. Where tubes are ovalised .... the ratio d/D should not be less than 0.9" !! (section Annex1 Page3)

Thats exactly what I mean - jeeez I doubt that even the sva tester would know that one!

If you're collecting your kit from MK on Saturday, one of us will probably be there (provided it's not raining). You're quite welcome to have a look around it.
