Why don't you make your own tool to check the heights etc. I remember watching either a kit car is born or a race car is born and they showed the tool as the car was tested and its quite rudimentary. All you would need is a bit of string some wood and a protractor.

Build cost.... seems to be spending more on tools than car bits at the moment! (they will be handy in the future though).
Car iva'd and passed 15/08/2014. Finished weight 572kg.

Hi David..
I was going to press up a piece of ally to the required size to sit on the seat but obviously the wider I make it the higher it sits on the seat.

ps.. did you get your template????
