[DML] Max. allowed weight etc.

["Stian Birkeland" <delorean@xxxxxxxxx>]

Need this for the registration document....

Does anyone know what the factory specs are for the following:

Maximum allowed weight subjected to the front axle?
Maximum allowed weight subjected to the rear axle?

And - these combined makes the answer to the next question - what is the maximum allowed total weight on both axles combined?

The car was of course registered many years ago as an exception due to non-existent type approval, but I still would like to have the correct numbers. 

A type approval would have sorted out everything, but since the car never was sold in Europe, that info was never made public.

The traffic station simply chose to put in these randomly selected numbers in the registration document:

Max.weight front axle: 580 kg
Max.weight rear axle: 890 kg
Max. combined weight:1470 kg

Together with this:
Weight of car: 1280kg + 75 kg (driver) = 1355 kg

Maximum allowed luggage weight incl. passenger: 115 kg
Now, if you take away the standard 75 kg (passenger), the maximum allowed luggage weight would be 40 kg.

Does this sound correct?

Again, this doesn't matter much, but I still would like to get it all correct! Any opinions/discussions on the above numbers will be very much appreciated!

Best wishes
