Paul,
If you remember we corresponded about raising the rear of my MGB GT
V8. Well, I have been having trouble with hitting sleeping policemen
(speed bumps) and also having difficulty with all sorts of driveways
etc. So I had new exhaust system put in which helped but also
removed some previous bad workmanship so got more power - but still
hitting. Remembering that I was low at the rear I decided a look at
at height. With horror I measured 12" instead of 14.5" (centre of
hub to bottom of chrome strip) at the front and I could not get the
jack under the cross member. This seems to have happened gradually
as I have just recently noticed that the jack no longer goes
under. So with 13" at the back I was LOW. So I have ordered bog
standard new front springs and new rear springs from Moss- and they
go in next week.
