ABSTRACT:
An automobile height gauge for measuring the vertical distance between the floor or ground and certain parts of an automobile such as the bumper. A telescopic bar is provided with "U" shaped fittings at each end. These fittings are adapted to fit over the flanges of an automobile lift rack. A cartridge housing a measuring tape is slidably mounted on the telescopic bar. An exposed end of the tape is connected to a permanent magnet. The magnet is adapted to engage magnetically the automobile part whose height is to be measured. The tape is calibrated so that it directly reads the distance from the floor to the end of the magnet and hence the height of the automobile part being measured.
