Re: Chassis for a J50

Flymo got in before me regarding the use of the three holes on the HL CSB etch tags to alter the ride height. The 3 holes are there primarily for flexibility in positioning the fulcrum holes in the chassis per the indispensable HL CSB jig (there's a guide to its usage on their website if all of this is passing you by!), so if the upper, middle, or lower hole on the tag isn't used per the fulcrum position, strictly speaking, it is a bodge as Flymo has said.
However, I'd rather see this offering more flexibility for fine tuning between different gauges of wire and different levels of holes from the original plan if it really has to come to that, and normally it won't. Now, using different tag holes along the length of a chassis side would definitely be getting into bodge territory, but if the worse comes to the worse - and by no means am I suggesting it should come to this with CSB's - it's a last gasp option for the bodger before checking on the likes of drilled holes being significantly out.
Fine tuning ride height via different gauges of wire or tag holes involves extracting 2 wires and reinserting them or different ones through the same or different holes. Very straightforward, done in minutes. How easy is it to adjust ride height on a compensated chassis?
