Apparently some IVA inspectors won't accept scuttle mounted - so people have put them on the outside of the rear arches - although some people are getting through with scuttle mounted ones...

I think this is a bit of a daft problem - my understanding is that from the required angle and height you cannot view the scuttle mounted ones - but the thing that is blocking your view is the back of the rear arch - which has an indicator mounted on it!!!

There's a handy pic somewhere from Westfield that shows the relevant dimensions etc quite clearly- there's one of the shots on this blog: http://albenwood.blogspot.co.uk/
