Thread: What is the weight of a stripped LWB Land Rover SIII Chassis & dimensions?

I have just had my SWB Galavaised, they charge me $155, at a $1.05 a kilo, does that help?

G'day Karl,

Thank you very much for your help. From this information I have a known quantity to work with.

So here goes some Saturday morning mathematics....

If you paid $155 for your SWB Chassis at a rate of $1.05 per Kilo then
$155.00 / $1.05 = 147.62 so this means the SWB chassis weighs 147.62 kilograms.

The length of a SWB is 3617 mm
So if I divide 147.62 into the length of a SWB I will get the weight per mm.
3617 / 147.62 = 24.50 kilograms per mm of length

A LWB is 4445 mm so if the gauge of steel used in the chassis in both the SWB and the LWB is the same a kilograms per mm of length will work out to be ...
4445 / 24.50 = 181.43 kilograms for the LWB chassis

Okay does this sound right to everybody out there or have I broken a series of fundamental maths rules?

Kind Regards
Lionel
