IVA fixes

 This is just a placeholder for now, as I've not got any photos or anything to add. But at least I can make a start.

Fault 1. NS exhaust mounts insecure and missing

Nothing to highlight here, I'll take a before and after photo.

Fault 2. rear number plate mount, not radiused.



What I'll need here is a proper surround on the number plate, so similar design but with a bead around the outside at the correct size. Euro space option 2 is 340 x 240 so I'll do everything to that size.

Unfortunately I made a mistake on the plates, that one attached as an example is the 'small space' plate which is 300 x 150. The euro option 2 is bigger by some margin.

Fault 3. Direction indicators, too low.


I'll move these up and out so they still comply with the viewing angles, but actually sit above the allocated holes. I'll order some surface mount bulb holders and design the 3D print around them. 

Fault 4. Design rear axle weight too low

This one has already been fixed! When I got back yesterday I pinged a query to the approvals email address, and they responded saying that they'd made the change. I was dreading this one, turns out it's the easiest one to sort. 

Fault 5. Clutch fork fouls brake pipe when depressed.


This photo shows what's going on. Turns out that I had noticed the proximity earlier in the build, but thought that the lever movement wouldn't a problem. I was wrong. From the photo it looks like I have some flexibility in routing that better, I might even put a protective sleeve on it.

Fault 6. Fuel pipe near gearbox mount fouling on mount

Hmm, the issue is quite clear on this photo, the pipes are too far from the side panel. I'm not entirely sure how I've ended up on that position, but it shows what the fix is. I need to undo that fixing and turn it round. Given it's protected I could have it resting up against the panel and it would be fine. 

I will need to make sure that moving it doesn't pull it too tight somewhere else but that means both pipe fixes are pretty simple.
