Interior projctions - the chassis

[londonsean69]

So, I was just down the garage for a crafty smoke, and got to thinking.....

On the IVA, most things that are contactable have to have a 2.5mm radius. What about the exposed chassis rails in the cockpit area??

The rails I mean are the ones that hold the side panels - no idea what tubes they are (book in garage) but includes diagonals as well as top and bottom rails.

I don't intend to trim mine, would this pose a problem at IVA??

And yes, I have noticed the deliberate mistake in the title

that is a good point you raise, i don,t intend to trim mine either but i,ve not heard about a car failing the test for having exposed chassis rails in the cockpit, maybe its cos once painted/powder coated they indeed meet the radius required

i wouldn,t worry about it as it doesn,t seem to be an issue at the test.

cheers

I belive most testers pass it!

No probs with mine on the SVA.
He did notice a couple of exposed nuts
under the dash, that needed covering.

Maybe you need longer trousers

Cheers for the reply guys, I didn't think it would be an issue, after all, the prototype went through SVA, just wasn't sure about IVA.

Most ERW square tube does in fact have a 3mm radius on it.

Kind regards
