Moin!
Kennt jemand die einzelnen Radlasten, welche auf die Räder eines 1.800er MGB GT (Chrommodell) im fahrfertigen, aber unbeladenen Zustand wirken? Für die Einstellung des Fahrwerks meines GT wäre das womöglich hilfreich...
Danke! Sven

Added insulation accounted for part of the GT's 123 kg increase in weight, as well as its remarkably quiet interior. Much of the additional weight of the MGB/GT was toward the rear. The roadster had 47 percent of its weight on the rear wheels with the coupe having 49 percent. With the driver and a full tank of fuel, the GT was perfectly balanced at 50-50 front to rear. In view of this, the makers said that they had to start on the springing again. They put stiffer springs on the rear [which replaced the leaf removed from the MGA] which resulted in an increased oversteer. This resulted in an anti-roll bar on the front. The makers had to take some of the weight transfer from the rear and add it to the front.

They even had to stiffen the front springs. It did give a slightly harder ride due to the car being heavier. Most drivers weren't happy about the ride, finding the GT bouncy and prone to pitching. But the changes improved the handling, so much so that many preferred the coupe to the roadster. Both were wonderfully controllable and forgiving cars in the finest MG tradition. The coupe was summed up as "It's a very willing, rewarding car with a long-legged performance and an endearing character."

Bei all Deinen geplanten Umbauten (Aufhaengung, Tank, etc.) koennte sich das allerdings leicht veraendert haben...

Cheers,
