Marcos Maniacs

Hi Dale,

The ground clearance on the 3 litre Volvo Marcos should be around 4" - 4
1/2", with the bottom of the clutch slave cylinder being the lowest point
followed closely by the bottom of the oil sump. If the car is set any higher
on adjustable shocks, it doesn't look right and wouldn't handle as well. If
you're planning on using an open transporter, you must be very careful to
ensure that the clutch slave cylinder doesn't snag on anything, especially
if the car is moving backwards. If the clutch snags, the section of the bell
housing (which is made of aluminum) to which it is attached will break off
and fixing it is an engine out procedure. Believe me, I've been there, done
that.

Subject: [MarcosManiacs] Marcos ground clearance and shipping




Hello all,

Does anyone know the ground clearance of a Volvo Marcos?
Any experiences with shipping via a commercial transporter? 
I have a concern with ground clearance with the open transporter and 
was wondering if any members used this method.

I am considering purchasing another Marcos. If anyone is considering 
selling, please contact me directly at citdrd@....


I have been watching this list for a while and appreciate the wealth 
of knowledge the members provide...thanks Dale
