Before ordering the Plus Six I was concerned as to the ground clearances so I got Williams Morgan to check with the factory and the quoted figures came back in writing. Front 135mm, rear 155mm.

My present unloaded measurements are mid chassis 120mm but under the muffler 85mm. At the rear under the wishbone suspension attachment 120mm. However I had a phone call from another Plus Six owner this morning and his clearances are less than mine.

Adding up the costs for the new SSL units, international freight, duty and fitting we are looking at GBP 2500.00 per car. Honestly not a lot considering the original price of the car and a small price to pay for peace of mind. But in the back of my mind a voice is saying (plus my wife!) why should you be paying for what is obviously a faulty product. It would be so easy for MMC to accept the situation and offer to reimburse Plus Six owners the cost of the replacements. In addition it would take the responsibility off Morgan and SSL, or another manufacturer carry that responsibility.

It's not rocket science but simple good business practice to put small fires out before they become ranging infernos!
