Adjusting ride height on 944 spring plates

Hi

On my other cars using 944 spring plates and 23.5 mm torsion bars I had no trouble adjusting the height, I locked 2 nuts onto the spring plate height adjuster and I was able to turn the adjuster to reset the suspension height.

This method wasn't working well on my new 1303 which has 26 mm short torsion bars.

So I searched eBay for a thin 36 mm spanner so that I could do the adjusting the way Porsche intended, using the 36 mm nut.

I found this spanner that is used Land Rover Discovery 2 TD5 36 mm viscous fans. I just used it then and it works great, I did have to remove the bolt that the sway link goes on to give me enough room.

Nice find Steve... would come in handy for doing camber adjustments on "tractor front ends" too !!!
