ZA3WI am having trouble figuring out the height from the ground to the bottom of the subframe mounts on the firewall to the floor.

I know from the searching on this site that from the floor to the top of the subframe is 13 13/16 inches, but I don't have body mounts to figure the distance from the top of the subframe to the bottom of the firewall body mount.

I appreciate any help you folks could offer.


Thanks

Bill

What you could do is, start at the back of the car and set to your Datum line. Work forward checking each control point. Make sure the Rocker is parallel to your Datum and then measure to your #1 body mount at the cowl to come up with a measurement, without a body bushing. Here are measurements if you don't already have them.....

That "e" dimension is suppose to be 6 15/16". Not 61 5/16". Just thought I would clarify that.
