If memory serves me right, I believe there is about 100mm clearance between chassis & ground.

I wouldn't want more than 25mm of sump bellow the chassis

i take it you don,t like your neighbours??
insurance shouldn,t be too bad if you go with a kit car insurer, also depends on your age/driving experience.
enjoy making the mounts.
if i may add, try & locate the regulator/rectifier somewhere where it gets airflow over it as they get hot & burn out, honda,s achilles heel.
cheers

I am sure it will be worth the cost.

You can't put a price on an ear to ear grin
