IVA Checklist

Secondary fixing for the upright mushrooms

is that a must?? how did you do it?

[Spikehaus]

I did mine with a drilled and tapped a hole in the front upright where it enters into the mushroom clamp, then inserted an allen head stainless grub screw, its was M5 I think. Its an easy one to forgot. I hope this thread helps flag up few items for us all.

I did similar, set up the front uprights, with the mushrooms in the correct position. Then drilled through the upright and into the mushroom, tapped it and popped an M6 stainless button head bolt into it.

looking at your dash has the bottom edge been rolled into the footwells? i used a broom handle, they test it to a certain angle.

Also everything mounted to the dash not behind the steering wheel will be tested for a radius edge, most people pad the dash with foam and vinal to get round this, i just mounted everything behind the steering wheel

looking at yours the battery master switch and digital dash will be classed as a sharp edge

Spikehaus, your side repeaters look suspect to me. They have to be visible from behind: 5% to the side and 5% below. I think the rear arches might obstruct the view. Likewise with the mirrors -- make sure they don't obstruct the repeaters in the specified range. The stalks are fine as long as 50% of the repeater surface is visible.

How do you add a radius to a curved shape on the dash

I am still thinking about the dash and its layout? May use some MDF / Plywood with a sanded and rounded edge on it. Will also have to lose the battery master switch for the IVA. This is going to be the final project.

I extended the Indicator stalks, so was hoping it would be ok, may need to check the dims of these again at the weekend that they are 450 from the external wing.

Its getting close, but the IVA man seems to have a lot of requirements!
