Can anyone tell me the measurement from the top of the scuttle to the lowest body point on an Indy.
Many thanks.

at a guess hes building his own chassis and wants to use an MK scuttle! you guys are well paronoid!!!

Its because i need to know if one will fit into a small space in my garage thats all.

the distance from the top of the scuttle to the bottom of the body is 66cm.

Many thanks Paul.
My estimate was 27" and your measurement is 26".
I can get on with putting my garage roof on now,

Have I missed the point, or are you having a garage with the roof 26(ish) inches off the ground?!?!?

Look at his username- clearly he's a dwarf and is building a garage to match!

Might want to make the roof a bit higer as the steering wheel might stick over the top of the scuttle! (i guess ur not having a roll bar)

how the f##k are you going to rivet the floor on cos my drill is bigger than my ground clearance

If and when i ever get an Indy finished i intend to hoist it up into the roof of my garage so i can work on something else underneath and want to know how tall one is minus its rollbar and wheels so i dont keep banging my head on it.
Hope this helps.

Ahh clever plan! Sorry but everyone likes to have a little dig, all in good humour!

I know its all in good humour and thats how its taken, ive enjoyed watching everyone try and work out what i was doing as its something i did years ago with a mini which are a bit heavier at around 800kg so i know it works.
now my garage is nearly finished i might actually get round to ordering my kit at Newark or very soon after.
Does MK allow test drives in the demo and how is it arranged?
