Try using the data from STANAG 2895. I don't have a copy handy but the British Def Stan should be using the same data and gives the following guidance(DStan 00-35 part 4 issue 4 Chapter 7-01, table 4)
For semi-permanent facilities (assumes snow is not cleared for whole season)

I have been asked to carry out automotive trials on a new vehicle design. One of the tasks is to establish the maximum grade for continuous ascent and stop/restart.
The design team have provided me with the tractive effort curves for the vehicle which clearly show that 1st gear (6speed auto...
The UK MoD has mobility classes for various vehicle types which includes a minimum tilt angle for vehicle overturn. The info is publicly accessible via the Def Stan website here:

The Def Stan of interest is 23-06.
I hope someone can help me with a rather mundane question - I have been given two ZF 6HP26 gearboxes but can't identify which vehicles they come from!
Does anyone recognise which vehicle the following model numbers might be associated with?
1068 010071
1068 010091
Pictures of the gearboxes...
Norm,
I enjoy driving a decent car down a good road as much as the next man when I'm feeling good and the weather's nice but 99% of driving now (certainly here in the congested South East of the UK) is a highly mundane and dull experience. I submit that we already live wth with cars that...
Pat,
While not disagreeing with you or Greg in this particular case, don't you believe that there can ever be a safe steer/brake by wire system? If so, do you fly on modern aircraft?! It's just that I can see some pretty big advantages to ditching the mechanical/hydraulic links.

If you manage to install a dog clutch and assuming you don't engage it on hard surfaces, why can't you just do away with the viscous coupling? AFAIK on a Freelander the VCU is constantly acting partly locked up as Land Rover deliberately made the front and rear differential ratios different to...
Thanks for your help guys. I've awarded swall the star as I think he's found the crucial difference. Bar diameter is sligh tly larger front than rear. I suspect this was the reason for the need to step up to CrV on the fronts.
I don't think material availabilty is the reason since the vehicle and the drawings have been around for 20+ years and the previous manufacturer was pretty good at noting changes due to things like stock availability. Also both front and rear springs are hot-rolled.
Is there difference between...
Our company is changing the supplier for the springs used in our vehicle suspension.
The drawings for the vehicle specify DIN17221 50CrV4 for the front springs and DIN17221 55Cr3 for the rears. The new supplier would like to use BS970 735A51 chrome vanadium steel for both front and rear...
