rolling book chassis width
GO - 14/2/04 at 07:29 PM

Anyone got a measurement for the width of a car built to book chassis size from outside of wheel stud to outside of wheel stud?

Reason for the question is I need to transport the car, but I'm having to hire a van for another task anyway, I'm hoping I might be able to kill 2 birds with one stone and fit the car in the back. No bodywork yet, and only skinny steel wheels on at mo so I think car is onyl as wide as wheel studs.

I know long wheel base transit is long enough (that what I picked chassis up in) but I'm thinking the wheel arches on the van will get in the way of the wheels on the car

Oh yeah, I wont be able to see the car until I've hired the van, hence the question!!

can always take a few spanners and have the wheels off if it doesnt fit!

1360mm approx from face to face of drums, assuming an escort axle. You'll need to add about 50-60mm for each wheel as they'll stick out more than the studs, giving 1480mm ish.
