Wheelbase Extensions & Reductions (standard to standard)

PROJECT OBJECTIVES:

• A stock chassis may need to be modified from it’s original OE build specification to an alternative longer or shorter wheelbase length, standard to the manufacturer.

• Astra’s approach to this requirement is to ensure that the original manufacturer’s specifications are maintained within the alterations completed.

• Taking this approach may include changing overhang length and prop shafts, but ensures that the final build specification matches body builder design information from the OE, avoiding possible body builder or service issues.

PROJECT EXAMPLE - WHEELBASE EXTENSION:

• Extend the wheelbase of a DAF FA LF45.160 from 3150mm standard chassis length to 4300mm (also a DAF standard).

• Extend the rear overhang from 1650mm to 2320mm,
to match the longer DAF build specification.

• Match the prop shaft configuration of the longer build
specification, changing from single shaft to a DAF
Monotron two prop system.

 

Similar modifications available for all makes.

Astra will also be pleased to quote for design & supply of specialist non standard length wheelbase alterations.
