IVA Failure Points (Pics)

As promised, pics of all the failure points.


1 - Mirrors - obligatory mirror must provide the required field of view.

Just need  to alter the position of the mirrors slightly


2 - Service brake control

lock nuts insecure, tighten them up




3 - Parking Brake performance must be 18% (16.5% achieved)

With a bit of luck, just adjustment




 4 - Exterior projections

a) N/S/F cycle wing sharp edge


Ouch! Careful Steve! Mind those lethal sharp edges, you might hurt yourself. Withdraw your finger!

 b) rear seatbelt mounts (dubious this one)




Both just in need of some edging trim. 

5 - headlamps (PRS - Passed and/or rectified at station).

6 -  General construction

a) loose lock nut on top wishbone



b) loose locknut on accel pedal



7 - Steering shaft bearing housing locking devices not fulfilling their function

bolts too short - replace with longer ones




8 - Fuel and electrical components secure and not subject to things* that will cause premature failure

*shortened to "things" as it was a massive list.

Need to have a look at this



And that's it. Already sorted the short bolts and started buying shares in the edging trim industry. Not too bad all told.

In other (great) news, the re-test is booked for the 4th June, so plenty of time to get things sorted and not too long to wait. Hurrah.
