    D2 height

    Does anyone know if the height at the roofline as listed in the book includes the plus part of the rave hub to guard measurements?

    Ie: 500+\- 15mm for the front

    So if the front can be 515mm and the rear can be 505(from memory), how does that effect the roof height measurement?

    I can't measure this myself because I don't have standard wheels. I would like to know because I need to get engineering for lift/bigger tyres, and want to go to the limit, but need to know those measurements first.(vsb14).

    Cheers

    Without going down to the car. I think the heights are on the driver's sunvisor.
    One would assume that this is at the standard nominated ride height and standard wheels.

    I know in Rave it shows a matrix in body dimensions with 600mm measured from rear hub centre to the centre of the pressed crease just below the rear door handle and a similar measurement from hub centre of front wheel to the same crease on the front guard. I would think that this measurement would only change with a suspension/body lift. Page 1253 of the workshop manual for disco II.

    Yes guys, thanks for your replies, I am aware of the heights and their locations, what I want to know is how the plus or minus figures as listed on rave for the wheel centre to guard measurements effect the listed height at the roofline if anyone can help.

    Cheers all

    Logic suggests that the differences in height would be replicated at the roof as the whole idea of measuring from hub centre to guard is to eliminate tyre diameter differences.
    This measurement measures differences in spring height, ie the distance from axle to body, so takes in differences in chassis body clearance as well as axle to chassis.
