Since you apparently have a chrome bumper car as a doner car, if it has the
front cross member/suspesion unit, use that instead of cutting the coils of
the spring. I think that cutting the front coils will change the camber of
the front wheels ( maybe that's what you want). (I happen to have a '65
front cross member...)
To change the ride hight for the later cars, I believe that they welded
spacers to the front cross member and changed the arc on the rear springs.
The guys at Motorhead would know better about this.
UMMM, adding a 1 inch spacer between the axel housing and the rear springs
RAISES the rear ride hight, was he making a jackbutt MG?
