OK - I understand 350mm too short to go over the van. The van is a good deal over 6ft high. I am 5ft 11 and I needed to stand on to the van floor to get height to see the witness marks.

Mad Jock - I think your nmumbers are total height which for the Trike would be top of the tailplane (it was a trike). For the tail dragger the height would be for top of the wing leading edge or cockpit so you would still need to subtract the depth of the wing to get the clearance. Clearance for the trike I understand to be 1875.
