Soren Frimodt 442 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 One of the questions we've all asked so many times: How much weight exactly is there to be saved by going from steel to rope wire, well in my case with the following parts it was 9kgs: 13kgs for the wire and 4 for the rope, both with their respective types of fairlead Quote Link to post Share on other sites
landroversforever 974 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Anyone got a complete series door they can weigh? Would be interesting to compare to the puma door I've got in the workshop. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes to the first half, no to the 2nd half... I'll try and remember next time I'm around the garage as I need to re-align my door anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I like my widows windows to go up and down sadly or the weight saving would have been nice. Might still get to that mind! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blanco 164 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I think I prefer 'merry' widows!, should we add a caution to the junior members not to mix their widows and windows???? or doors and drawers for that matter!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
