Its nearly IVA time!

[Stiggy]

One thing to watch for is as you add items to comply that you don't add items that don't in the process. In this case I am sure Ian has already covered the edges of his brackets.

[Shane]

Already done it will be posting detailed pictures soon so people can run their eyes over before I book it

[Shane]

Here are the brackets I made, i thought this was going to be a 'temp' solution for the IVA but i actually prefer the look and positioning as it matches the upper wishbones, so decided im going to spray them black and keep them as is

Car looks great!

Might need some edge trim on the bracket vertical part that is bolted to the frame..
Gaps on the mount bolt nut for the lamps..Looking good..

I dont think the 100mm ball will be able to contact it as there are too many obstructions around it, but will take another look

[gwnwar]

just take a few feet of it with you and some tools..

not an IVA issue but the edge of the GRP bonnet will damage the chassis paint without protection. You can use the seal from the MX5 boot, failing that you need some of;

Hi Shane, cars looking good mate I also mounted my lights as you did first so will have to adjust . Would you mind posting a couple of pics of the harness bar mounts (bolts)and how you fitted the harness to it. Also which side mirror mounts did you go for. Cheers Dave

At the point where it bolts to the chassis and how the harness is wrapped around, cheers
