hi all,
i am finally getting around to mounting a new body (p909) and noted Josh's setup from GLC last year, which listed 21mm off the front and 158mm tall.

can someone (josh?) confirm that the height measurement is from rear center or from the tallest portion of the side ventrals?

i have fashioned a spacer that lies on top of the existing rear posts. so that the centering pin and rear shock tower relationship is unchanged.

is this how you got 159mm height or did you use taller body mount arms? i got a set of evolva arms which just need a little grinding to fit.

the spacer leaves the geometry intact but it tends rock foraft. does anybody have a better scheme for getting rear body height needed for the current crop of shells?

thanks for the help.
tony
