MTPLM dilema

Prof are you sure that if you leave the hammer on the nail for long enough it won't push the nail in ?😅. Seriously some manufacturers have been rejecting claims for 'failed axles' ( rubber inserts) on the grounds of 'Overloading' or 'Potholes' good job Fraser brown can refurbish such axles at a reasonable cost

It does make you question the actual rubber material. I restore classic cars and always fit original (unused new old stock) rubber suspension components as the reproduction ones fail after only a thousand miles or so, the rubber itself just doesn't appear to be as robust/hard wearing as the original.

When specifying a static weight limit such as 1300kg, the manufacturer will already have taken into account that peak dynamic loads will be well in excess of that value.

Cool thanks. Although no one actually answered my question, so I will probably just remove the motor mover anyway 😂

If single axle, removing the motor mover will only save you about 30kg. You could get a roof box for the car to carry a load of extra gear?

on this subject of which I have very little knowledge we have just bought a Bailey 640 the previous owner paid £65 to Bailey to get an upgraded weight plate, taking its max weight up by nearly 100kg how’s that work when it’s exactly as it was when it left the factory seem a bit odd that it’s this simple
