Now you are adding silliness to your incorrect answers.


The guy asks a question, I answer it (correctly), then people start contradicting me. Now I'm happy enough to be contradicted when I'm wrong, (and that does happen sometimes) but the reason it may not happen very often is that when I am not sure of the answer I either look it up (easy enough to do) or I STFU.

Thanks chaps. As I want to keep my holes as "neat" as possible I don't want to leave gaps for edge trim if I don't need to so thanks for the reply's.

You are welcome. As long as the NI test is the same, and the sphere can't touch the edge in question, you're OK

JimmyD, wish you luck with the IVA, it is the scariest thing I have been through but also a great feeling when you pass.

im gonna disagree here. openings in external body panels must either be folded in on them selves or trimmed as all panel gaps and edges must be blunted.

Also you can fail for having too much trim as i found out! If a piece of trim is obstructing the tester from seeing something they need to check then it can cause a fail. in my case i failed on heat shrink round my track rod ends, he needed to check the lock nuts but couldn't because of the heat shrink, result i either failed on the lock nut or failed on the trim as i had to cut it off for him to inspect the locknut.

That's in the latest version downloadable from the VOSA web site. The rule used to say that they had to have a specific radius on them, now they talk about "safety edges" and "blunted edges". It came in about 2-3 months ago, it makes a change for clarification to work in favour of the builder
If you search the new document for "blunted edges" you will see lots of areas where they have removed specified radii in favour of the blunted edge rule.
