SWB 2.4 Load Capacity

[Wallace]

I have a chance collect some very cheap steel tomorrow and a web search gives me a 765kg load capacity, anyone know if that is correct on a SWB? Link is for SWB so I'm presuming yes. What i have to collect could easily be up around that weight.

700kg rings a bell.

Thanks, it should be ok as what I am collecting is estimated at 45-50kg a piece and maybe 16 pieces. I will take my baggage scales and check a couple before loading. I had some 2.5x500x1000mm sheets in there a while back and the ride was much better! I selected the 2.7 on that list, the 2.4 that corresponds to the '98 model year shows 880kg although I would take that to be a Commercial.

752kg in the back and the suspension coped quite well, almost level with the saggy torsion bars.

Scrap lift shaft counterbalance weights, 20mm x 220mm x 1250mm, my bumper build may be a wee bit heavy duty.

I do want to sort it but will also need the corner of a car to weld in place for the lamp to fit into. Covid 19 has slowed my plans for this year down considerably.

Armour plating for the rush hour M25 jostle, that's where the damage came from when an X5 decided to push me under an Artic trailer.

The steel is a cheap option to replace the 3mm sheet covering my welding bench, I can leave gaps for clamping and add a few extra holes on the pillar drill which I would need a Mag Drill to do on a 1800 x 800mm sheet. Then I have the 3mm sheet surplus with some 2.5 & 2mm I gathered last year for Terrano mods leaving more cash for terrano toys.

I will, do you know if the later cars with the horrid plastic spectacles around their rear lights have the same body panel pressing?

I'll confirm that for you, not sure myself, but I know a lad with a few old ones that are being scrapped soon so I'll ask him what he can do
