Wheel base

[Bob Stoeger]

Hi All,
What's the correct wheel base center to center for a Mark I GTD or an orginal for that matter?
Thanks,
Bob

Everything I've seen says 95 inches/ 2413 mm.

On a GTD there is a chance the figure will vary slightly if you have adjusted your castor setting. More castor should mean a smaller wheelbase!

I was told by an ex GTD employee that the GTD wheel base was actually 98" and thats why the wheels never centre correctly in the wheel arches. They always look odd.

I think that some replicas that have taken dimensions from the GTD suffer with the same problem.

The correct measurement is 95".

Hi Malcolm, this is "easily confused" of Hampshire here :squint:

Wouldn't increasing castor lengthen the wheelbase? :freak:
