Title: Can someone with a Spider do some measuring for me?
Post by: mangocrazy on June 23, 2023, 12:18:29 AM
I've been thinking on forking out on a set of Quickjacks for quite a while, but have finally realised they're not going down in price and if I want a set I need to splash the cash. Unfortunately I'm not sure which version to go for and (more importantly) which version will suit our cars best. Basically I need to know the crucial measurements outlined in the picture below. I've also linked to a PDF that the vendors supply, here:

I need measurements B, C and D (a Beta's kerb weight is comfortably lower than the base model's upper weight limit). Mine is a Spider, although I believe that a Coupe has the same vital dimensions.

I have the Coupe out this morning for a pre Sunday road trip fettle so have done a quick measure for you;

D = 20 cm with my higher profile 1300 tyres.
B = 190 cm
C is a bit subjective but I would say 150 cm

Hope that helps.

Sorry, can't help! Whilst it is on 4 wheels they're nailed to the pallet the shell is sitting on at the moment....

That's perfect, Neil. Thank you. Basically it means that the model I was hoping to go for (the 5000TL) is the one that appears to be most suitable, so definitely a result.

Time to disturb the moths in the wallet...
