Thread: Fat 101.

I can not find my 101 drivers book which states the weights for a 101 GS 24 volt.
What I do remember is if towing with a 101 one must have 500kg over or behind the rear axle in the cargo area.
This was of course for the british army which towed 1800kg guns with the 101 and the gun would never normally have been towed without the load of ammo or the gun crew with persnal effects etc.

Did you take into account the weight of the trailer on the tow ball?

They where done separately so tow ball weight is not a factor.

Put in your diary early August for the next winter rallie.
You might get a drive of 4.6 101 if Ian shows up.
