Answered: Lowering block front spring

Hello everyone,
I'm marco From holland and I drive a 73 GT.
The Gt is imported from calafornia in 1990.
I brought back to the original color (citrus yellow)
My question is: is there someone who has a drawing of a lowering block that is installed under the front spring to lower the car in the front?
I want to make it myself. I don't know what height of block I should use to lower the car 40 mm.
Thanks in advance

Marco, Suselbeek from your country is selling those blocks. I was initially intending to install it myself but than I decided to buy lower spring. Yes, it cost more money but it can be installed without spring compressor. Just this convenience was worth the price difference. You will have hell of a time to install standard spring over the block even with the spring compressor - ask me how I know...
