Start with maximum diameter tires without creating interference with parts =

Fit skid plates under the car for protection.=20

Hi all,=20
I am in the process of doing a nut and bolt restoration on a 1962 BT7 Three=

Authorities have found no better way of controlling speed than filling the =
streets with speed bumps of different height and sizes. There are parts of =
the city where you can find several on one block!=20
As you can imagine Lima is not the best place to drive such a low vehicle a=
s a Healey and I am considering increasing the front and rear height of the=
car maybe a couple of inches. I am aware that this will affect the look of=
the car but I have no other choice.=20
Would you please provide me with ideas or suggestions on how to tackle this=
project before we start assembling the car and suspension?=20
Thanks in advance for your comments.=20
Best regards,=20
