Hi Rafael

I had trouble in my BN1 with clearance at the back =E2=80=93 solved it =
with Monroe air shocks (VW Kharmann Ghia fit) =E2=80=93 you could =
probably do the same at the front. Gives you about 3 inches adjustment =
of ride height

Cheers

Hi all,

I am in the process of doing a nut and bolt restoration on a 1962 BT7 =
Three Carb. My car is located in Lima =E2=80=93 Peru and according to =
Waze we are in the top ten worst places to drive in the world!=20

=20

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 as 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,

Rafael
