IVA cat and tripod bearing questions
bart - 3/7/18 at 12:28 PM

Hi All

I have tried a search but nothing found , having said that bet its been questioned before

does the cat have to be E stamped for iva , I want to use a 3" 200 cell sports cat.

Tripod question not iva

does any one have the correct positions when installing a tripod joint
I presume at rest ie: neutral lift dive ect that the joint should be half way up the travel ,but then I suppose it depends on the intrusion into the joint under dive and rise , any thoughts ? also engine movement !

There is no E stamp required for a catalytic converter, the 'proof of the pudding' will come when you have the car tested for emissions.

I've just had a look in the IVA manual and all I can see is that it needs to be secure, not leaking and not noisy.

Following as I'm interested in the tripod question

The tripod bearing question is not IVA related more of a design question.
