the engine gearbox and running gear alone has got to be near 300kg without your steal tube chassis
needs to be 450kg or under
Engine is 180kg tops?
Frame up to now is only 21kg and there is only a little more cradle to go around the engine and seats
Drive shafts / hubs I'v yet to measure. the uprights (hub carrys) will be swapped out for aluminum uprights if needs be. 1/5th weight of the cast iron uprights.
Seats will be folded aluminum sheet, padded of course. Or fiberglass whatever is cost effective at the time.. Max 10-15kg with rails.
Nuts and bolts and various mounts 20kg MAX
Wheels. 10kg each. (Not sure if thats with or without tyres) Back one will be slightly more.
So say 280kg up to now? That leaves 120kg for Drive shafts/tyres? and an extra 50kg for being totally off with my calculations and it end up being a 2 tonne monster.
