Do these panel look okay for an IVA pass?

Looks very tidy - should be good for IVA. I think your exhaust outlet will need a rolled edge tho.

You do not need to block the engine in. The inspector will use a 100mm ball and protrude inwards up to a maximum of 200mm. Anything he contacts must have a minimum of 2.5mm radius on it. He cannot change direction (go round corners) with his ball. That means if you had a gap ni the chassis rails that was say 205 wide you could put a 10mm bar across it dividing it into 2 holes that he cannot pass his ball in to. The rear stop/tail/indicators will need rotating 90 degrees or the edge of the illuminating surfaces will be further than 400mm from the outside edges of your rear wings. Hope this helps, regards Stiggy

Stiggy is right (as usual!)
I didn't bother blocking the engine in for my IVA - I just made sure all the bolts were capped around the engine and put some trim on the edge of the black 'cap plate' on the N/S of the gearbox...
You will need to rotate the lights, have a rolled edge on the exhaust and (if you need too - as I did) stick some trim to the lower rear wishbone mounts (the top radius edge) as this is deemed as a 'sharp' edge!

Cheers guys - I dropped it off with RTR yesterday to do the IVA, no doubt they'll sort out the last few odds and ends.. Next decision is whether to drive it home to Exeter!!! 1st journey of 215 miles, thats got to be a record for a Rocket... almost as brave as the 4x4 guy trying to make the top of Snowdon!
