Hi Russell, Sorry to hear your bad news re' IVA and your 2+2, I had an identical problem with a 2+2 going thru' SVA a few years ago. I know the following will probably be no use to you as we are now talking IVA not the old SVA but: I just did not know what to do at the time, so contacted QSC, spoke to John Sampson (this was just after they had acquired the company and the 2+2 was the only one they had sold) he said it should not fail SVA for that reason if the car had been built as per the instruction manual (which it had) as the kit had been SVA approved. He made some additional enquires then phoned me back to say he was sending me a letter to take with me to the retest. Before it arrived I attended to one or two smaller items it also failed on and bonded a piece of 4mm steel aprox' 300mm X 300mm to the inside of the bulkhead, picking up the bolts for the servo (it did not seem to make any difference to the amount of flex). But thought it might pacify the tester a bit and was cheap and easy to do. A few days later went for a retest and passed thankfully. I cannot remember exactly what the letter said, but had some facts and figures on the construction of the bodyshell and its strength. Mentioned some thing about an official SVA pre approval document and noted some reference numbers I think.
