Weight

[m12_nathan]

Has anyone here got their setup sheet from a corner weighting session? I've got one for a 3L car, be interested to see the weights for a 2.5, a 3R and an M400 for comparison.

Cheers

No, sorry..

i do have it for a 1983 austin allergro in brown, would that be any help?

[m12_nathan]

yes.

[mark-111r]

ok, its on ebay for 3 grand, or 5 to you???

[m12_nathan]

thanks.

No problem, i will even chuck in a haines manual for a 1981 austin princess.. in colour!!!

[m12_nathan]

I assume you mean "Haynes" manual? If so you have a deal

Now back to my original question.

[mark-111r]

No, its and earlier edition, real collectors item!!

I asked my drivetrain installer to measure corner weights on my recently completed 3R in the US. Here are the results--first without driver but with all fluids, 3/4 tank of petrol and including AC, leather, alarm and track sump:
LF--484: RF--478
LR--737; RR--757
Total--2456
then with a 169 pound driver:
LF--546; RF--505
LR--799; RR--775
Total--2625
Pretty close to what might be expected, I think.

By how much, exactly?

[V6GTO]

40 kgs.

[alex s]

hopefully getting the nitrons fitted in the next few days, so will get the corner weights done then. Mine is a GTO3.

How much lighter are the 2.5's?
I think they were 980kg ?
