Nick Jones Posted August 3, 2021 Report Share Posted August 3, 2021 I’m guessing but a bare chassis is an easy two man lift so maybe 70kg? Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteH Posted August 4, 2021 Report Share Posted August 4, 2021 Hi No Idea of weight. But I lifted mine one end at a time.? Most of the time though it was on a home made rotator, and It had the Turrets etc removed for cleaning and Painting Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave pb Posted August 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2021 Thanks. I need to transport one and various carriers need to know how much it weighs. Less than 100Kgs? Dave ==== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68vitesse Posted August 4, 2021 Report Share Posted August 4, 2021 Agree about 70KG definitely less than 100KG, once carried a Vitesse chassis about 300miles on roof bars fitted to a Triumph 1500FWD. Regards Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave ---- Had one off the ratchet straps around the chassis and through the rear windows so only way it was falling off was to take the roof with it. An interesting drive. Regards Paul.

Dave pb Posted August 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2021 For future reference, the best info I could get was that a bare spitfire chassis was 47Kg. Not sure if this was with or without turrets. My best estimate of a bare herald chassis is thus about 60kg. Turns out that the shipping issue is not the weight but the length of it. Thanks for all your help. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteH Posted August 6, 2021 Report Share Posted August 6, 2021 Dont know if it is of any Help. But we used to carry a Mirror Dinghy on roof racks, Using first a Ford Escourt Estate and later A Chrysler 2L, and a Ford Cortina Estate, All up a Mirror weighs in at around 100Kg?. If I remember correctly. I know it needed 2 to put on the racks but that had more to do with size than weight. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
