body lift
Grunter:
well i have 40 spacers in all, 20 x 1" and 20 x 1 1/2" so could combine these for various heights, got a full set of std new body mount rubbers, new washers and waited ages for new top hat inserts, i think that only leaves the tie rods left to worry about.

got a friend at an engineering company to make me 10 x 40mm diameter x 50 mm long with a 10mm clearance hole in center spacers in mild steel for the vast amount of £0.00. Hopefully fitting them this weekend so will let you know of any problems I may encounter.

Whatching this post with interest, as I really fancy doing this, understand the problems with brake pipes steering shaft but what happens with the h/brake& gearleavers,
Thanks John.
Grunter:
well just off to attack mine now, decided to go for it and just make things up as i go along....
Grunter:
well thats that done, only problems were one of the bolts had decided it was not going to part company with the rest of the bush or chassis whatever was done to it, oh and i forgot about an earth bonding strap, wires for the petrol sender needed extending, went for the easy option with rad and just removed cowling as lowering the rad would have meant remounting the oil cooler which i couldnt be bothered with today. maybe some other time. Getting enough lift to fit the spacers was a problem as i only have a bottle jack and much of the lifting range was taken up by the springs as weight was taken off the chassis, winding some coil spring compressors on by hand before jacking the body soon sorted that one!
biggest problem with this job.......
EVERYONE can now see the bits under the wheelarches that need a little.. attention
