SVA mirror test
nstrug - 10/5/09 at 11:32 AM

I'm trying to ensure that my offside mirror doesn't fail again (damn side intrusion bars) and I'm doing a full mirror test with the new mirrors.

I'm using the Annex 3 alternative test procedure (the same procedure used in my SVA) but have a real problem that the SVA manual does not bother to tell me the spacing between lines a b and c. Does anyone know them?

Not sure what you mean, my SVA manual shows - measured from the eye line in the car - A at10m, C at 20m and B at 60m. What is annex 3?I don't have one.

To answer my own question - the spacing between lines a, b and c (the longitudinal lines) does not actually matter, as the car is repositioned for each test - centrelined on line b for the interior mirror test, outside edge along line a for the offside mirror test.
