Default IVA and side panel holes

I'm I correct in thinking the holes in the side panels for wishbones, exhaust etc do not need a radius if the 100mm sphere can't come in contact with the edge of the hole? It obiviously then does if the sphere can reach it.

That's correct.

Some edge trim would probably keep them happy.

That's true, and it would look neater too, but if they can't touch them with the sphere, then they can't fail you on them.

It's worthwhile anyone facing an IVA test making a sphere, I made one with a half a 'diablo' plastic toy which happened to be almost exactly 100mm.

Basically edge trim everything you can get edgetrim on.
No one fails for to much edgetrim

And no one fails when a non contactable edge has no trim. There's no harm on edging non-contactable edges, and might make it look better too, but it's not actually an IVA necessity.

I have been to 3 SVA's & 1 IVA, we always carry several boxes of items, including trim and silicon, that way if Mr IVA points out an edge he is not happy with we can fix it there and then.

I'm glad to hear it, sounds very sesnsible


By the way, if they can't contact it (with the 100mm sphere) , they can't test it

Well what do you want me to say? Do you want me to say, "oh, sorry, maybe they do test non-contactable edges after all" ? Do you want me to lie, in other words?

Bit silly though, it's simple enough really, either they are allowed to test non-contactable edges or they are not, it's certainly not a matter of opinion.


If it's a really big deal for you, why not post up the relevant part of the IVA manual?

What you are looking for is a bit that says the opposite of this-
"2. All ‘hard’ parts contactable with a 100mm sphere, which form an external surface or protrude 5mm or more from the external surface must have a radius of curvature of at least 2.5mm (see note 2)."
