The Westfield we have in work has the competition roll-bar and only has three bolts in it but it will never be going for IVA, it is a Westfield supplied item, the rear supports go down to the rear most diagonals of the chassis and bolts into a suspension bracket.

Its built now so I'm reluctant to chop it all up again. Nearer the time I'll check with the test centre about the bolt situation and go from there. If I can get away with not fitting the roll bar I may just plump for that.

Has the main tube of the hoop got one central bolt up through it to hold it down to rear seat bar on both sides.

No it doesn't have the central bolt only the outer bolts. It's a well rapid little thing, with a Blackbird engine and the Westfield reverse box, Freelander rear axle

I will be yes, thank you.






The harness mounts aren't attached to it, at the moment, this could change.

The car is coming along otherwise.






I've reworked my handbrake position to something more conventional. I intend to spend a good amount of time getting the controls running as smoothly as possible and positioned as well as best as I can get them to suit me. Once that's done I'll then fit fix the tank in place, run the fuel lines and panel the interior.

Has anyone here successfully iva'd a car without using an indicator stalk but instead employed a different way of using the indicators? Dash mounted buttons?

Also the same with the ignition switch? I quite fancy a bare steering column you see.

Well, Caterhams don't have indicator stalks, they have rocker switches on the panel. So that should not be a problem.

If you eliminate the ignition lock with the steering lock, though, you have to provide an alternative mechanical anti-theft device or an electronic immobilizer. See IVA manual section 13A.

Thanks Alga, I am tempted as its a clean looking setup without the stalks, moar in keeping with the cars minimalist design.

Can anyone reccommend an edge trim to cover the corner/edge of my trans tunnel?

I need to make the top pieces bolt down (in order to give access for inspection during IVA) but I'll need a trim that covers the edge and allows for the panels removal...
