dash

Hi, i'm new to this SVA lark so am after a bit of advice. Does anybody know if this style dash would be suitable to pass an SVA.

It's fitted into a mini minus shell.

Many thanks
Pete

I think they will want to see dials and switches , and a steering column may be of advantage.

Looks ok apart from the radius at the bottom, needs to by 38mm diameter from memory

The non- radiused bit you can see might be in the steering wheel exempt area, the nearside looks to have a radius but dunno if its the 19mm required. The brackets on the cage look decidedly sharp & I fear the gear knob is a definate fail . Also some of the screwheads on some plates look like fails

have you any more pics of your build as i love minis and love the minus' too, aint seen many.

thanks

Thanks for the help. The screw heads on the floor plates are all button headed bolts for allen keys. If I fill the allen key hole then will they pass or would I be better to hide the plates under the carpet. I intend to put plastic covers over the gear lever bolts and will now fit a round gear knob.
The brackets on the cage are for the door bars.This is a pic of them fitted so do any of you think the bracket will still be a problem


This is a pic of both the minus's i'm building/built. The green one was already a complete car before I converted it to use an R1 engine so didn't have to have an SVA. The other one is a new build and it's causing a few headaches trying to get it right.

Unfortunately neither belong to me
