honitonhobbit Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 It just so happens that we have a single axle weigh bridge at work - I didn't know this until earlier today when I got back form site early. As I was wasting time cleaning the truck, I noticed a couple of fixed pressure plates by the washdown. I followed the cables back to a small hut with a rather nifty 'puter screen doodad... Now thanks to LR90 asking pertinant questions about my weight - well that of the 100" - I though 'Bingo'. It's bl**dy accurate too! Front axle is 1084Kg Rear Axle is 1034Kg with about 100Kg of cr*p in the back and a full tank So bang goes my 60/40 split misconception and 'e' voila' the reason behind my slightly harsh front end )ooer) When the vehicle was SVA'd it weighed in at 1770kgs with skinny tyres, slimline wheels, no armour, no winch and no cr*p in the back - oh and no RRC seats! So Trev, your question is answered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pugwash Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 i reckon thats a good result Dave, 2.1ton for that creation is pretty light- the paint's got to weigh 50kg by itself any chance of work being amenable to renting the kit out?

landrover598 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 It'll be interesting to see how close that is to mine, i'll have to get mine on the scales one day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honitonhobbit Posted October 20, 2006 Author Share Posted October 20, 2006 To be quite honest and allowing for not talking it through with my boss, I can't see why - maybe for a drink - after hours weighing couldn't be set up... I will ask him on Monday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes mine look more than a little lardy.... Not far off 2.7 Tonnes last time on the weighbridge.... guess I should ditch the milling machine and lathe then...
