PS : Do I put on form your actual weights,without driver

but rounded up say 350 axle 1 & 400 axle2?????

I'm pretty sure I put the design weights on the SVA application form.

For info my 2B was 370Kg on the front and 340 kg on the back with a 1600 pinto/stainless panels.

 

But remember you have to add 75Kg per person weight to that.

[IanS]

Design weight is the maximum static weight that the axle is expected to see.

The brake test uses this info.

If the car + fuel + passengers + luggage can come out to more than the weight you have declaired then expect a fail.

You only weigh 65kg :boohoo: and a average person is only 75kg :boohoo:
