Another IVA projections query

I have fitted a fibreglass rear valance, never thought about it at the time but the bottom edge where it fits to the square section tube is a fairly sharp square edge, from what I read in the IVA manual this will be a problem. Can anyone confirm/refute? I could fit a rubber L section strip, will be difficult to change the section of the valance itself when is on a squre tube, any other ideas?

If it's conactable, then it will need to meet the radius requirements, whic I think are 3.2mm for external stuff. Rubber strip will only help if it is considered 'permanent'.

Answer might be to get a radius gauge and rub the edge down til it complies.

I wasn't aware of this until I came across this one last night, page 128 of the manual - "exterior projections".


10.
Where contactable with the 100mm sphere a glass/fibre reinforced plastic panel edge must have a radius of curvature of at least 1.5mm.

Might not be quite the problem you thought it was, Dickyboy!
