No drying them out with a hairdryer & trying to find the leak that lets water in.

As the car is dark blue I drive with the lights on so general public see me & the dials mist up rapidly.

Quick blast over to Gillingham (Dorset) to natter to Milligoon about many Mog things.

We discovered that the Plus 8 and Roadster share the same windscreen angle, the same angle on the rear deck but the rear underside of the Plus 8 is nearly 2" higher than on the Roadster at the base of the numberplate. We also found that the edge of the runningboars is lower on the Plus8 than the Roadster by 1"

We have no idea what all this means.

And did you measure anything else Peter? Like the dimensions of the cockpit? That would have a bearing on cockpit turbulence. And clear up once and for all just how much wider is the Plus8 to the Trad.

John,

across the inside of the rear wheel arches the Plus 8 is 4.75" wider.

I didn't measure in other places and compare, but a quick check shows between the inside of the doors above the door locks is 52" is and from the top of the padded edge of the front of the cockpit to the backk is 45". Would anyone like to compare their modern Trad?
