I took the car into the excellent Sevens & Classics having found the sump to be a lttle low (o/s 65cm n/s 60cm w/o driver – difference in height due to car being flat floored with my weight).
The sump clearance ideally wants to be 65cm to 70cm – the test is apparently whether a can of coke can roll under the sump.
Discovered that due to original springs sagging over the last 16 years there is insufficient adjustment left to raise the car.
Time to consider my options…. May be time to look at Nitron’s and or Quantum’s offerings.
