hi guys, i need an "official" hieght of a production bug about 70's vintage. i can find everything else exept the height!!!

i'm having trouble with the pits guys in WA its complicated situation but they think my baja bug is too high and it needs an engineers report and swerve test!

the height of the roof line is 1500mm, mine is 1600mm, not good news
they say the ground clearance is 160mm, wonder where that was measured? i measured to the floor pan near the jacking point, i got 350mm, i guess i got that wrong!

anyone with a standard bug (a bog standard bug) could you please measure the height for me, floor to height of roof. thanks.
