[Healeys] raising the fulcrum point

[fsufan1952 at yahoo.com]

I just did this to my 67 BJ 8 . Haven’t driven it enough , but I love it so far . Better seat rake , no problem with the rear interior panels fit.  No problem with my knees hitting the steering wheel . And as a bonus, the raised seat makes it easier to get in and out of .
