With regard to the 4-in-line configuration, I think I remember that the wheel centres had to be 18 inches apart to qualify for the maximum weight.

Aye & They were a tyre fitters delight Eh, Ha Ha, Regards Larry.

And a driver’s nightmare Larry in the days when we carried a spare and all the wheel changing tackle to do them ourselves. Not so fond memories of changing an inner on a 4-in-line outside Wetherby Racecourse on the A1 loaded with brown reels of paper from ELPM at Radcliffe for Hugh Stevenson at Darlington. :frowning: :frowning: :frowning:
