2.6 Maximum dimensions

The dimensions of the vehicle chassis can be gleaned from the diagrams. To aid your conversion plans, the chassis dimensions are given in a scale of 1:20 and 1:10.
If uprated springs, comfort springs or tyre sizes that deviate from the standard specifications are fitted, the vehicle and frame heights can change considerably from the base level. If this equipment is to be used, we ask you to please take this fact into consideration.

Important note

  • The minimum distance between cab and body should be 30 mm.
