Bar with Fwd stays

Can anyone see a problem with this rollbar arrangement with respect to an IVA test?

ATB Dan.

Driver and passengers heads are going to be awfully close to those forward braces - most of the one's I've seen tend to kick out to avoid that problem. Like on the Sylva Riot



If the IVA inspector feels it requires a helmet to drive safely then there could be problems.

How does it sit with relation to heads, is your rollbar low or do you sit far forward to make the bar sit at shoulder height. Is vision obscured?

As to hitting it I cant see that being any different to person hitting their head on the A pillar of a small 5 door car. Radius requirements are met, whilst it may not be ideal, I cant see what standard an inspector could apply to that to fail it other than the general: All aspects of the design and construction of the vehicle must be such that no Immediate danger is caused or likely to be caused to any person in the vehicle or to other road users. but id say thats unlikely

Not a IVA problem but I would pad it when driving

Padding was planned, I'm trying to make sure an Ex racecar could be IVA'd.
