Another load of pre-IVA pics!
Hi All,
I sent my IVA application off this week. Can you take a look at my pics and see if there's anything I've missed.

Thanks,

Reposition harnesses so they don't run through the seats, as they are will fail IVA.
Not for IVA, but those wheels look very tucked in at the back!

Hmmm, those rear wheels do look a little odd now you mention it!
Might have to add that to the list of jobs over the winter.
Why would the harnesses going through the seats be a fail?

Is that battery clamped in place or just pushed into the cage? If not retained in place it could move forward under braking.

Going through the seats is fine, but the mounts need to be positioned so that the harness doesn't pull against the seat frame when you are
wearing them. Yours look fine.

Thanks for the replies so far!
Hopefully be alright with the seats/belts by the sound of it.
I can't easily check the emissions, but they should be ok. I don't have a cat fitted, but the engine is old enough for a non-cat test,
and I'm running the OEM ECU so I recon I stand a good chance of getting through.
The cage is bent over the battery front and rear, so it can't slide anywhere.
Do the IVA covers on the front suspension look ok?

As long as the belt mountings are higher than the bottom edge of the seat holes you'll be OK. If they're not just use longer bolts and
spacers to raise them.
Do you have evidence of the engine age. They'll want written proof.

I'm pretty sure the mounts are slightly higher, but I'll check next time I'm in the garage.
Mazda charged me £35 to send me a letter stating when the engine was made. Worth every penny if it means I don't have to fit a cat

Nice build and good luck
Does the lower edge of the bodywork (side panels and rear tub) meet the external radius requirements? I have a feeling that it is supposed to these
days.
By the way, what have you used to cover your upper seat belt mounts - they look good and I would like to do something similar with mine.

Thanks Steve,
I knocked up the seat belt covers one evening on my sewing machine 
They're made out of vinyl with scrim foam glued on the back and bias binding sewn down the edges.
I used press studs to hold them on:
I think you're right about the bottom edges. I think mine are mostly ok, but I'm sure there's a couple of places that need
smoothing out.

Yes, it was 110dB!
I managed to get it down to 96 with the creative use of some wire wool though
