I have fitted a big 7 front axle on my Nippy chassis. I need to put weights on the front of the chassis to load the front spring to normal running position so I can check where the radius arm mount will come so that I can fix it to the cross member then measure the castor using 5/8" rods through the king pin eyes. This will be to see if a wedge is needed between spring and chassis.
Does anyone know what the weight of a big 7 engine and gearbox is? I will probably use sacks of coal on planks as the main weight to start with.
The actual engine being used is a BMC A+ with Toyota T50 5 speed box.
OK you are going to ask why not just mount the A+ engine and take it from there? Yup I think that is what I must do then add a bit of weight for the body/rad etc.
There that is age for you, talk to yourself and the answer eventually pops up.
