Preparing for IVA

All,

I need to cover the top ball joints.
Lock the mushrooms in place
cover the rear seat belt mounts. (Anyone know if there is a Tin top that has covers to fit these?

I will add a few more pictures tomorrow.

Could be worth looking at:

Locknuts on steering arms are uncovered.
Front suspension bracket edges.

Dashboard switches need labels identifying their functions.

Rear of the naca duct looks too sharp.
Lambda bung looks like it won't meet the radius requirements.

I plan to wrap the exhaust up to the boss....

The Dash 2 was a superb buy in my opinion.. I bought it a while ago when they were not so established so I got it quite a bit cheaper than they are today... I still think they are well worth the money plus the after sales supprt has been first class... Setup has been fun i would say.. I have a DTA ECU and have a data stream from the ecu to the dash....

I think I will need to take the edge off the duct then pinstripe it with black... The nosecone does have some pretty bad gel cloat cracks due to something dropping in the nose so it will probably need painting anyway....

Thanks for the advice....

The cable on the wishbone is the supply to the front side repeater.....

Can't quite see but looks as if there should be thread protruding from the nylock on the lower swivel / front wing mount.





I'm addicted to brake fluid, but I can stop anytime.

Thats what I assumed, if so I think they can often fail when wing mounted, on 5degree reward visability splay.

Is the bottom of the dash to the required 38mm, or is it padded? or has this changed in IVA from what was required in SVA. Nice build though. Cheers Ray

Yes so did I, but still needed to be 38 mm rounded edge, or padded!. Cheers Ray

Seat belt mountings need covering, suggest covers found on most tin tops will do the job, a bit of scrap yard foraging.

When you go to IVA take a box of different size edge trim, shrink wrap, silcon sealant, nut covers etc.
This gives you a chance to adress points of consern at the time.
