Interesting.....
Whilst I was at SVA, there was a kit which had very low headlights(or they
would have been if fitted in the moulding area provided), this had been
'avoided' by fitting mounting plates which raised the headlights. It failed
on other issues (had been failed 3 times at the tyest centre local to his
previous address!), and the headlight position was clearly going to be
altered at a later date. I wonder how this would be treated at IVA. I am of
the opinion that if another driver can't see a headlight then he shouldn't
be driving - but rules are rules, and there may be other issues why the
headlight needs to me at least 500 mm up eg still have some dip and light a
given distance? to see over the edge once in a pothole?

Shall we just say that the guy who inspected my Beauford had been involved
in an inspection where a car had been involved in an accident caused by not
meeting the specifications! It later transpired that the car had been
altered after the test. This is why they now take photos of all possible
suspect areas that only just passed! I think that I might have responded
similarly given the circumstances and he was not unreasonable, just ultra
safe - good thing!

Is your local test centre over-zealous? I remember your note about needing
4mm plate for the seat belt anchors.
The IVA manual still shows that composites are acceptable (obviously with
guidance given re lay-up and load spreading), and all they state for metal
is that the welds should look to be good etc etc. I'm not, of course,
questioning what your experience of IVA (I only have SVA experience), and
recognise this could be an issue because (strangely) there seem to be local
variations even though there is a manual/set of rules.
