Greg, I ‘m not absolutely sure , but I think London Roadster only used the weights on the custom chassis cars , the ones with coilover shock front suspension. I have owned two London Roadsters both with the VW chassis and VW torision bar suspension and neither of them had any weight added. I seem to remember some othe LR owner referring to…[Read more]

Paul,
Was that fiberglass box for the sand an actual part of the kit or did the asembly instructions tell you how to make it? Not interested in the sand but am interested in the box. I’m using two 20 pound rectangular steel plates that I drilled to match the original beetle front beam bolts. But the box in behind the radiator shell would give… -

Ed,
Thanks for the work – sorry I did not send you anything again this year ( I had a couple of nice ones ), but work has been crazy and just never got to it – maybe next year -

Greg,
I think it is best to remove the weight and install a storage area under the hood and store your jack/tools/parts etc. anything w/ weight right behind the grill to make it useful weight. It works fine in my case – no issues and I have had my car up to 80 – 90 MPH a couple of times trying to catch the speedster guys ( Cory ) on I-81 by Carlisle. -

The weight is intended to rebalance the car, after pulling off the steel VW body.
But 300 to 400 lbs sounds like a lot.Classic Roadsters Ltd. took a different approach with their Duchess. There is a fiberglass box behind the grill that holds about 150 lbs of sand. -

Ah! “No weight” on the front is the usual situation with these babies. Every little bit helps.

newkitman replied to the topic Front Shock Question in the forum VW Based Kits 13 years, 4 months ago
Had no weight on the front end to push the shock up into the arm on the front beam. Used a jack to lift the lower trailing arm and got everything lined up and torqued. Did that for both sides. I probably should have waited until I installed the body and had tires on. Live and learn.
