suspension.
Take it to another garage! at £450 a go, who do you think I am Barron
Rothschild? The testers suggestion was to weld a steel plate between the
two subrame bars at the back of the engine bay and bolt through that
which would be very difficult to do with the engine in. They also failed
it on flexing of the body where the handbrake cable bracket fastens on,
this is easier to fix.
All the points raised were very valid, most my fault for not taking the
time to read the testers manual, but it gives me something to do on a
weekend now until the retest.

The H4 bulkhead is steel.
Assuming the fibreglass hasn't cracked around any of the transfer bar
or servo fixings then it's just normal.

You want to look at a Fiesta bulkhead, it flexes more than the Quantum.
If you want to try and improve it then make up some 3mm steel plates
to cover the whole fixing area behind the pedal box and the servo
brackets and several inchs out (where possible).
Bond them to the bulkhead.

I don't have an H4, so can't answer my own question. Does the H4 have
a fibreglass bulkhead or is it steel??
The reason I ask is that I had my 2+2 in for IVA test today, and yes
it failed, but worryingly was one of the things it failed on was
excessive flex in the bulkhead when pressing the brake. This was both
at the pedal box end, but more so at the servo end, so lost movement
equals lost effieciency. Now how am I going to fix that!!

I'm not happy with the front braking performance on my 2+2. I could
probably just replace evey part with new to see an improvement, but I
have the chance to get a brake setup from a mk5/6 Escort RS2000.
According to the fiesta forums these parts are a straing fit. Has
anyone tried them on a H4 yet and did they see much improvement?
