I collected my new UK spec +8 from the factory April 1987.
Front indicator (turn signal) is 8.75 inches out from join of
cowl and wing and 4 inches above bottom edge.
The centre of the rear tail light is vertically 4 inches above
bottom edge and the top edge of the cylinder which holds the
light where it meets the back panel is 14.5 inches inches above
bottom edge, measuring along the back panel.
These measurements are a little different from those given
by Chris Acklam, probably more to do with the day of the week
on which the cars were made rather than the year! And remember
that no two Morgan wings are the same so put them where they
look right rather than to an exact measurement.
Regards,
Manfred.
p.s. Could someone remind me how to subscribe to the Morgan list.
Yes, I know I'm on it but have forgotten how and have a friend who wants to
join.

Subject: UK spec +8 info
Hey now! Regrettably, my 1988 Isis spec Plus 8 was recently
vandalized. Now that "Gwenda" requires some re-painting, I intend
to return her to UK spec height front and rear bumpers. In doing
so, I am using UK spec front turn indicators and lowering the rear
turn indicators, tail lights and reflectors. Therefore, I would
appreciate any info Moggers can provide on 1987 UK spec Plus 8, as
follows:
1. Where are the front turn indicators located, i.e., how far
outboard from where the front wing meets the cowl and how far above
the bottom edge of the front wing is the center of the turn
indicator?
2. Where are the rear tail lights located, i.e., how far above the
bottom edge of the rear wing is the center of the tail light? How
much lower than Isis spec?
Thank you! Larry Guzin
