If you raise the height by altering the springs you have to pay attention to the reach of the shocks, you may have to change them for ones with more outward travel. The geometry of the front wheels will change considerably if you raise the riding height. Some serious mods may be necessary.<br> Also consider modifying the exhaust system by using bespoke silencers at the rear only to create more ground clearance.<br> Fit skid plates under the car for protection.<br> Kees Oudesluijs<br> <br> <br> Op 13-10-2016 om 4:08 schreef Rafael Abugattas:<br></div><blockquote><div><div class="h5"><div class="m_3143851841372871316WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I am in the process of doing a nut and bolt restoration on a 1962 BT7 Three Carb.
