Good to meet you yesterday, Ian. Hopefully someone here can help. Or knows a man who can.

Just measured my ride height and, according to that FIA document, it's an inch too low all round!

As an addendum to this topic, referring back to discussion in the opening posts about ride height, the FIA Homologation Form https://historicdb.fia.com/sites/default/files/car_attachment/1601073001/homologation_form_number_5017_group_1.pdf does contain a diagram with ride height specified.

I used Cohline high spec rubber fuel hose in 7.5mm ID version: https://www.merlinmotorsport.co.uk/p/high-spec-rubber-fuel-hose-by-cohline-per-metre-2240-0600 . It can cope with E15 fuels.
