A.3 Building the bodywork
This chapter provides instructions for assembling the bodywork, with the main technical aspects and regulations.
The definition of the bodywork is left to the Bodybuilder’s decisions, according to requirements.
A.3.1 Main dimensions
For all vehicles, the entry and exit angles must be greater than or equal to 7 ˚ .
Construction of the bodywork must allow the vehicle turning circle parameters established in ECE Regulation 107 or the equivalent
Regulations in force in the country where the registered vehicle will be on the road.
At the rear of each wheel, vehicles must be fitted with mudguards reaching a distance of 75 mm from the ground.
The configuration of the bodywork must allow inspection of the vehicle identification number.
A.3.2 Vehicle interior configuration and capacity
For all vehicle classes the surface area available for the number of seats must comply with the provisions of ECE Regulation 107
or the applicable regulations in the country of sale.
A.3.3 Characteristics of the driver’s seat
Heating system
Provision of a sufficient output of hot air for demisting the windscreen is obligatory.
Sun visor
The driver must be able to make use of a sun visor, which must be capable of being adjusted in height and reversed while driving.
A sun roller blind assembly or partial or fully tinted glass may also be fitted.
Driver’s seat (if different from the one provided)
The height, angle and longitudinal distance of the steering wheel must be adjustable, and each of these adjustments must be
independent. The seat must offer sufficient support and be covered with breathable material.
Driver station - ergonomics
In the case where the instrument unit supplied with the vehicle is disassembled and reassembled into a custom built dashboard,
it is recommended the relative positions of the instruments and controls be maintained for optimal ergonomics.
In addition, since the dashboard supplied complies with the Directive in relation to ”signals, controls and luminous dials”, after each
modification it will be necessary to verify this aspect and, if necessary, obtain new authorisation.
Care must be paid when fitting the driver side flooring and coverings so as not to restrict the movement of the pedals.
A.3.4 Requirements concerning the fire-proofing materials
The covering materials used inside the engine compartment must be inflammable and non-absorbent for fuel and lubricants,
unless said material is coated with an impermeable layer.
The remainder of the materials used for the bodywork must be ”flame retarder” or self-extinguishing, depending on the number
of passengers that can be transported and/or the applicable regulations in the country for which the vehicle is intended.
Polyamide pipes or bundles of electrical cables passing close to hot parts of the engine (exhaust manifold or pipes, turbocharger
etc.) must be protected by an aluminium or stainless steel screen covered with insulating material.
