Understanding
Wheelbase
&
Rear Overhang
THERE
SEEMS to be some difficulty in understanding the application
of wheelbase related to front and rear overhand where axle units
are involved. The following diagrams illustrate the methodology
in the determination of the relevant dimensions

FOH+WB+HAU=ROH |
| FOH |

Overhang |
= |
Distance from front end to centre of front axle |

Half the distance from centre of first axle to centre of last
axle of rear axle unit |
| ROH |
Rear
