Indy-R ride height

Now that i've fitted my radiator it's occured to me that getting a c-spanner on the inboard front shocks is going to be a pig without taking the rad back off again, not something I really want to be doing often. How are people setting the ride height, are you leaving the shocks alone and using the pushrods? If so, how far up have you set the spring platform, and how far can you unscrew the rose joints from the pushrods before it starts getting unwise?

I realise as I'm typing this that most of you have angry hairdriers in the front of your cars, and my proper engine weighs about 3 times as much, so anything you tell me is probably useless, but hey...

I would just leave it until you get it on its wheels,you will be able to get to them even with your boat anchor fitted,it will be tight but you can do it,It may help if you hinge your nose so you can get in better.
There's only one other spec-r chassis with a car engine that I know of,and he does not come on here,and like you have said there's no point in me giving you my settings for my hairdyer,not that I would now anyway

Just to add your front springs should have been supplied a bit heavier for a cec instal as well.
