Ground Clearance below tanks

[paulrichardson]

Hi Guys,

I am trying to get some tanks under my SWB MK7.

I've made a cardboard version of one of CAK's tanks that fits (I know it won't hold the water very well) to see what the ground clearance is.

It works out about 15cm.

I wondered what you guys thought about it.

I've measured my Saab and that has a clearance of about 19cm so it's not much different, it just seems so low compared to the rest of the space under the van.

I look forward to hearing your comments.

Regards,

Paul

It all depends on your angle of departure
Where is it midships or aft?

A cardboard tank should be OK btw
I made the waste for the arsewash 3000 out of plywood
Just pop a bit of fiberglass in it

Hi there,

It's right in the middle?

There's not much depth there
Speed bump front over back not over bit of weight in the van
Would it touch?
I think mine is about 15 cm off the floor but i havent been out on the road with it yet

insurance-wise it's as well to go with CAKS transit recommendations listed on their web site.........visions of roadcone on M1 causes 789 casualties.
