Has anybody upgraded a 44t scania tractor unit to stg2?
Can this be done even 
depends what manufacturer’s plate says and/or what scania will give it under STGO regs - any 3 axle scania should get 65te gross without modification, even midlifts, although obviously you wouldn’t want a sad excuse for a STGO vehicle with a faggotty midlift axle 
east to do, leave eveything standard on 44ton scania, change the plate put the right road tax on and away you go,used to run my 420 upto 60 ton regulary, it was just a bog standard midlift
Where can you get info on STGO regs, I’ve looked at VOSA etc on the web but can’t find anything much about it all.
