Thread: Towing Capacity

Does anyone have link to the EMEI VEH G 100 document or one that could be posted here.

Thanks

I previously uploaded it in post no 7 in this thread: http://www.aulro.com/afvb/general-ch...entie-nsw.html


Apparently AULRO won't let you upload the same attachment to the site twice.

Firstly,
Thanks to you all who have contributed to this discussion! Unfortunately I had planned to pull a boat with my Perentie and am going to need to go through some sort of process to try and get the towing capacity increased. If anyone is planning to go through this process (I'm in NSW) and would like to look at the possibility of splitting engineering costs I'd be keen.....

Cheers,
Neo

I would be.

But the first thing would be to investigate if it is possible to get a "type" approval. I'm not sure this is possible in NSW with the Vehicle Modification Compliance Scheme or how it would work nationally.

If engineering is required ( I'm still investigating this with the RMS and Land Rover) my intention was to have it done with other engineering that will be required for my vehicle so I don't expect the engineering costs to be to bad when spread across a few mods.

I'd be talking to an automotive engineer first, which I will be.
I think cookey got "type" approval for his disc brake conversion. Maybe have a chat with him to find out the process.

Yes he did get type approval send him a PM or if I see him I will ask going to the shed this week end he may be there

Thanks for that a disk brake conversion is something else I would be considering. Got to help with towing among other things.

So does that mean you can't just add electric brakes if you have a trailer rated to 3000kg braked???
