ground clearance and other dimensions

[SSPPGG]

Ive mislaid an important scrap of paper on which i took down a number of dimensions before taking my car apart...

Does anyone have to hand, or know

with a griff or chim at ride height, what dimensions are
at the bottom of front of the outrigger to the floor
at the bottom of the rear outrigger to the floor
from the bottom of the chassis to crank c/l
from the bottom of the chassis to the gearbox output c/l
from the lowest part of the exhaust to the floor.

thanks

Oh,and one more, how long is a piece of string?

I asked a similar (shorter) question a while back and;

Chassis 33 said:

The "correct" ride height is "around" 140mm front, 160mm rear. Measured from the chassis plates under the out rights. However as everything is hand built, albeit on jigs, the rule of thumb is very imprecise however it should be in the right ball park...and others have found things better with the suspension set an inch or so lower than that.

Mine is currently set about 20mm lower than that.
