Can anyone tell me of any issues with puting a 2003 robin hood 2b through
The iva its using 1600 Sierra running gear
I have put 2 or 3 cars through the old sva but had nothing to do with the IVA
All input would be much appreciated

Thanks
Martin

best to take a heap of pictures all round the car and post them on here for folk to review and spot any issues

Haven't purchased it yet,
but I remember somewhere in the dim and distance past
There were issues with robin hoods but can't remember what
and which ones
can't find anything in search on here either?

The issues were with 1 very poorly build aluminium Robin Hood Lightweight which rather tarred the brand.
The 2b is built from round tube stainless much more robust if a little heavy for a 7 but hundreds and hundreds have gone through IVA with no issues.
Suggest you visit Robin Hood Owners club website, helpful bunch and loads of Robin Hoon knowledge

Having built a 2B (with the sliding pillar suspension lopped off and wishbones added) I can say its a pretty awkward kit to assemble well. The design of the rear trailing arm suspension mounting leaves a lot to be desired. Unless its been built exceptionally well I wouldn't consider it. Plenty of other lighter and more sophisticated designs out there for similar money IMHO.

The main issue to find a solution to for the 2b is the lower seat belt mounts, as there is no provision in the chassis for them.
