Side Repeaters
Just about to fit the side repeaters, but having fun on deciding where to put them!
I have These repeaters
not too sure on the regs/angles either!
I was planning on putting them on the side of the scuttle!
Is this wise?as im loath to start popping 20mm holes in my body pannels to find they are wrong!
Cheers
Aaron

Most fit them on the front cycle wings as the rear wings obstruct the view of them from the rear.
Some put them on the rear wings.
But as I understand it on the Scuttle is an IVA fail.
Duratec Engine is fitted, MS2 Extra V3 is assembled and tested, engine running, car now built. IVA passed 26/02/2016

I have those repeaters and fitted them to the rear arches. The IVA tester at Norwich was fine with the position, all he checked were that they were
within the 2.6m distance limit from the front of the car

Putting them on the skuttle means rear arch blocks them for the 5degree rearward viewing angle. Putting them on the front arches means
'some' inspectors will argue that when on lock, they also cant been seen from the 5degree viewing angle. So the safest place is rear arch,
then relocate to skuttle - which is IMO, the safe place to have them, as they may pass on the rear arches, but they arent in the best position for
viewing from a practical point of view, ie along side some one they could end up in their blind spot.

ive not measured it , but they can be seen from a good field of view
and are above the line of the rear arch
