tained 1949 Austin Loadstar VB-K2VV model. Will the operation of this vehicle be possible under the plating and testing regulations and if so at what g.v.w?
Normal payload is in the region of 3 tons and we wonder if the straight hydraulic system could be replaced by an engine assisted vacuum hydraulic to maintain this capacity. What is the maximum gross weight for BMC FOK 40 A (1960-1) model under plating regulations?
AProviding the Austin K2VV can meet
the requirements of the braking regulations-45 per cent efficiency on the service brake and 20 per cent by a secondary means, i.e. the handbrake, there is no reason why it should not continue to operate. However, this model does not appear in the Ministry of Transport standard lists, and therefore, we are unable to state its ultimate plating potential, We very much doubt whether the suggested brake alteration would make much difference from the statutory angle and would underline the difficulty of obtaining suitable parts.
The BMC FGK 40 A is detailed in the standard lists and will be plated to 4.2 tons gross from which you can calculate the payload. Standard Lists are obtainable from HMSO, price 7s 6d.
