side repeaters scuttle mounting ?

[John.W]

I have just had a look at spuds car on his page and the mirrors have got indicators but they are not visible from the rear and if I remember correctly spud did tell me when he took me for a test drive that they were only for show.

These look as though they wrap round far enough to be seen from behind.

They look good, It would be nice to see them in the flesh, the arms look quite angular I wonder if the would meet iva requirements also is the indicator going to give enough coverage to the rear? I suppose you would never know without fitting them.

I,ve been taking some pics of my car today so thought I,d show what I have done with my side repeaters,

Not saying this is the only solution but as you can see from the pic taken from the rear it clearly shows the side repeater flashing & if you look beyond it you can just about see the scuttle ( tho this pic wasn,t taken with any IVA measurements / guide line rules, just showing it as an example )

Andy, same place as i fitted mine and passed IVA, was going to fit on the scuttle but after reading the IVA book did not take the risk.

Being totally honest Gus.......it was seeing that you had fitted yours there & passed the IVA test that convinced me to fit them in the same place as yours .
At first I wasn,t keen on them fitted in the rear wings , thats maybe cos it was fresh in my mind when i fitted them, but now I hardly notice them at all.

So, its thanks to Gus

cheers

Hi Handy Andy
just looking at that pic ..
is the reflector vertical
cant tell from the angle of the picture.
its just i know Gus had to put some wedges behind his to get them vertical for iva
just ignore me if i,m being silly

Hi Les,

You being silly ??? never

With regard the reflector.......no its not vertical, its just stuck onto the rear wing / so follows the angle of the wing.
I must say tho, I wasn,t aware the reflectors need to be vertical for the test
I thought the only rear light that must be vertical was the fog light.

Or have i missed something in the IVA manual or is it moving its goal posts again

cheers
