    I would imagine with a tube chassis you'll be running coilovers on the back, most of which are installed with a bottom bracket that has various holes for setting ride height. So, should you go to a different height tire it's easy enough to keep the carb pad level by adjusting the mounting position on the rear coilovers....

    OK. Question on mounts. If my mount will be touching on the chassis, like in the attached picture, can I expect vibration though the chassis?
