Maybe I should be focusing on what is the correct ride height--measuring to
the top of the frame rail at about this same point (rear end of door) I come up
with approximately 8.5 inches. That said, there is still 3/4" or so
difference ground clearance between the front and back Does anyone have the
proper
dimension to either the top or bottom of the frame rail?
BTW, I counted eight leaves in my springs whereas drawings in both the shop
manual and Moss seem to show seven. Denis Welch sells an upgraded rear spring
set with eight leaves--he says that there is "one extra" and claims a 12%
firmer ride. My car was converted by the first owner to M specs in 1957 and I
believe that one of the kit options was an eight-leaf spring set.
Any information here will be appreciated.
Best--Michael
