Axle weights
The end is now in sight, got the chassis no from DVLA and I am now filling in the IVA form and need the axle weights.
Can anyone tell me what the weights should be for a book locost with solid axle, type 9 and 1300 Xflow.
Wheels are Ford RS alloys.
I am trying to avoid having to buy another set of scales as SWBO has taped up the piggy bank.
Cheers

500kg per axle seems normal

500kg is fine

Just be careful - they do the handbrake test against these figures, not the actual measured weight, so if your handbrake is marginal, go a bit
lower.
For example, mine measured out at 610Kg kerb weight, with a calculated gross weight (with driver+passenger+luggage) of 780. But the handbrake has to
work as if it were the design weight which I put as 1010Kg. So I passed at the local MOT place, then failed at IVA and was quite confused...
