Hi Mike
We have discussed the matter of ground clearances on the Plus Six and the problem with dragging the muffler on every speed bump before. When we fitted the SSL coil over damper suspension units with the adjustable spring platforms and adjustable dampers we obtained 105mm clearance under the muffler. What I did not say was that we also removed the resonator, that SS mini muffler that hangs down about 15mm more than the exhaust. No great difference to the exhaust noise but I'm yet to give the system a real test!
there are four Plus Six in NZ and they are all fitted with the SSL units - a real improvement in handling and the car feels like it is gripping the road. When we set the car up we used the factory clearances 135mm front and 155mm rear under the jacking points. And the tires at 28psi. An interesting point is the I now have clearance on the rear between the top of the tire and the bottom edge of the rear wheel arch of 50mm and similarly on the front of 40mm.
In the meanwhile the brake and radiator parts for MOG 6 arrived last Thursday by AIR from MMC only to have the mechanic test positive for Covid. I don't think we can blame MMC for the Covid wave hitting NZ! Hopefully back on the road in time to get to the NZ MSCC AGM in the South Island.
