If it's any help?

I did this exercise for my long wheel base special some time ago (fuel tank at the back).  The overall mass of the car with fuel and water was 417kg.  212kg at the front wheels and 205 at the rear.  Making the centre of mass 1008mm from the front axle (wheelbase 2058)

For my trailer I assumed that the centre of mass was pretty much mid way between the wheels.  The short wheelbase shouldn't make much difference???? but the tank may shift the centre of mass further back? For trailering I would have thought the assumption of the centre of mass being mid way between the wheels would be OK (as long as you have a bit of leeway to move the car forwards and backwards to get the nose weight correct?

Cheers

Howard
