Default Re: Height adjustment

Hi Brad,

A. Without "seeing" what you have, "anything" is possible & solution "guesses" could run into the millions from broken spring leaves to old Fatty Arbuckle driving you car for 20 years.

B. But you can let us know in detail a few accurate measurements & distances after first driving on to a level paved surface & indicate dimensions from:

1. Ground to bottom of chassis behind left & right front axle; &,

2. Ground to bottom of chassis in front of left & right rear axle; &,

3. Ground to center of the L & R spring's outer round eyes at shackles of the front axle; &,

4. Ground to center of the L & R spring's outer round eyes at shackles of the rear axle.

C. Both front & rear springs are designed to be secured with a center bolt in the spring's center which should be provided at the transverse center of the vehicle.

D. After seeing what you have, you will quickly realize that everything on a Model A is very straight forward & very simple & can be resolved with just simple thinking.

E. After measuring, just for kicks, let us know what you find -- many will try to assist if more help is needed .
