I’ve just weighed an entire set of woodwork recently made
For a GE Cup which came to 40kg
Adding in the screen, alloy body skin, wings bonnet etc
I reckon the coachwork total will be about 50kg all up, or 112lbs or 1 cwt perhaps a few lbs more?
My ash timber is 1” rather than the 3/4” of an original body.
Has anyone weighed their completed GE Cup or a bare
running chassis?
Interested to know what my final all up weight of a finished GE Cup will likely be
and how much lighter than say a Chummy of the same era
1926 to 1928?
Hoping I can get to 60mph on the flat!
