GETTING on/off site with a Ford Transit can be now made easier by changing to fourwheel drive.
All models can be converted by Tracker Vehicles of Maldon, Essex, using a system developed by Sinpar Equipements Speciaux, a Renault subsidiary, and has already been used to modify over 400 vehicles for use on the Continent.
The system uses a Transit differential assembly in a newly designed front axle inr:orporating locking hubs but Jtains the original disc-brake and wheel assemblies.
A 2-to-1 reduction transfer box is included in the driveline after the standard gearbox. Either twoor four-wheel drive may be engaged. The ground clearance below the body is increased by 76mm (3in).
Tracker Vehicles plan to produce two vehicles a week by the end of September. The conversion adds a further £3250 to the original vehicle price.
