reggie Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Does anybody know the approximate weight of just the bare chassis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escape Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 We managed to pick up a chassis from a P38a with 3 persons, without straining ourselves. I expect the RRC's to be similar (except when filled up with mud ), so should give you an idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reggie Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 I've been able to move it around on my own, just wondered the weight so I know how much I'll get if I weigh it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddballrovers Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Hi Reggie I have used a bathroom scale and did as below, acctually the workshop now posseses one cooking scale, one bathroom scale and a postal scale for the nitty-gritty bits, as we are car weight watchers not body weight watchers Placed the one end off the chassis on axlestands as close to the end as possible and the other end did rest on a thick playwood piese then I read the scale noted it, did the same in the other end added the two figures and then you have an approx weight close enough for my purpose and I guess also for yours. regards Ole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willfromsussex Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 No idea but two people can fairly easily carry it, would guess about 100-120kg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzza Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I just took delivery of a galvanized Defender 90 chassis which was 336lbs on a weighbridge, just as an idea. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Great help, thats 152kg so a Range Rover chassis being a little longer should be around 170ish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willfromsussex Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Galvanising must add quite a bit though, inside and out of course and its metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
task Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 It probably depends how much the tin worm has nibbled away from it too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
