Jon,
Am just replacing lotocones, bearings and inner and outer driveshafts, so have easy access to the top of the suspension turret.
The lotocone hole is 80mm diameter. The distance from the centre of the upright section of the turret to the edge of the hole is 20mm. So, the dimension you're after would be 60mm. Might be worthwhile having someone else confirm it before welding. Measure twice, weld once.
Regards,
Colin.
P.S. Just noticed your moniker "Jonnyplus2". The measurements above are from my '68 S4. Might be different.
Colin.

Hi All,
I am welding some used Lotocone mounts on my Elan chassis and I need to know the length of the red arrow in the attached drawing. (the Lotocone mounts have been shortened a bit when they were cut off the donor chassis). If anyone has a chassis lying around that they would be willing to measure for me I would be much obliged. Thanks.
Regards,
Jon Bathmaker
