Difficult to know, since who knows if their Minor is standard clearance these days? Most of them have been stripped and rebuilt at least once, and all of them have sagged under their own weight, I would think.

Nevertheless...the standard clearance from the ground to the center of a torsion bar, at least on MMs, was 10 11/16ths inches. This height was the same front and back of the bar. For the rear, the clearance from the ground to the center of the hole in the towing post on the inner wings was 15 7/16ths. :)
