challenger bodywork
Is anyone building with an aim to fitting the GTS challenger bodywork? Does it fit the book chassis and will it get through SVA?
Thanks,
Mark

Have seen it mentioned before that the headlights are too low. Suggest getting the facts for yourself, but it's something to look into.

I'd imagine you could just jack the ride height up to hepl with the headlight height. Would be best to email Mark at Triton or Darren at GTS as
they both know about the car/moulds etc..

I read that with the re-introduction of their Lotus 11 style bodywork Westfield have made some alterations to make it SVA compatible, but how was not
specified. Maybe a call to Westfield would reveal what they had to do.

Westfield have just re-introduced the eleven based on the original design with MG Midget running gear.

Minimum height of dipped beam headlight is 500mm. That's from the ground to the apparent trace of the beam cut-off on the lens. (whatever that
means!).
So get your tape out. Hope this helps.

Ride height
Would it be possible to temporarily raise the ride height to satisfy sva and then lower again when you get home?
