adamnreeves Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 I would have thought this was easy to find but appears not. Does anyone know the weight of a SEiGHT chassis without or without the ali panels attached. My bathroom scales were too small. Quote
adamnreeves Posted March 6, 2006 Author Posted March 6, 2006 Wow, over 60 viewings and none of them no the answer, it isn't an easy question then! Quote
Carl Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 Zetec SE chassis is 68kg bare, if this helps Carl Quote
Al Yupright Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 I think there is something on the FLUKE weight database. But seem to remember it is high 60s, cant remember if that was with/without ali panels though. Quote

Darren B Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 May sound obvious (and you've no doubt tried) but have you askedthe factory? Quote

nikpro Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 Why all the interest in the weights Adam? When you take it for SVA they will tell you how much it weighs? Quote

SVA will give me the total axel weights, no? The interest is for knowing sakes, I'd just like to know! I love numbers! and I have added a section to my website detailing weights of components for other's comparative reasons. Also useful to know the weight when I decide how to lower to the floor. Can me and one of my bodybuilding buddies lower it to the floor on our own! (I squat 300kgs at the Gym) Quote

Westfield SEiW Megabusa 2001 Chassis Westfield Sportscars Ltd 57 750MC Sorry mate, someone needs to tell Graeme that the search by description on the fluke weight checker does not work properly. I have listed the whole lot now and searched using the web browser for occurances of chassis and found it! Thanks. Quote

When you lower it to the floor you will have a V8 and a gearbox in there - if you try we will send both of you cards in the spinal injury clinic of your local hospital! Quote

(I squat 300kgs at the Gym) I used my engine hoist but attached it to the chassis frame to lift the front, remove the stand and lower it onto axle stands, then repeat at the rear but attached to the diff framework with the boot box not fitted.
