On show is Bush Tyres latest equipment: Weighing Cells
The equipment allows us to calculate the centre of gravity coordinates on a vehicle and to
weigh vehicles with 2 or more wheels, through two different modes.
It allows us to know the vehicle weight through a single weigh; the system is made up of
a number of platforms equal to the number of resting points of the vehicle that is to
be weighed (wheels, axles, etc). The display simultaneously shows the weight of the
single scales, the total weight (sum) and the centre of gravity coordinates.
Axle weighing: it allows to weigh a vehicle through the acquisition and totals
of each single axle / part of vehicle. While weighing, the instrument simultaneously shows the weight of the single scales and the accumulated axle total.
On show Bush Tyres – High specification tyres supplied as OE to a number of sprayers
on demo.
Over in our Spalding branch the influence of the far east could be easily felt as two Japanese classics were brought to us from Baileys Prestige and Performance. The first an immaculate Pearl White Nissan R33 GT-R having Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tyres fitted to a set of new light weight race wheels supplied by our friends over at SR Autosource.
Hoping for some warmer weather this 1985 VW camper van visited our Spalding depot in preparation for the suns return later in the year. The driver chose to have Rapid tyres fitted. This is a great choice of tyre as it offers peace of mind with a full accidental damage guarantee.
The Porsche Carrera GT was already a quick car around the Nürburgring. Can modern tyre technology really make much of a difference to its lap time? Hold onto your hats and delve deeper.
