Email response
For interest sake, I got the following email response today from the supplier in Malaysia.
does the portal kit come complete as a bolt on, or are further parts required?
Ready bolt on for the drive unit. The fender is not provided, you may need to do your own adjustment to cater for the slight protrusion since the wheel is shifted 4 inch outward.
Can it be engineered for on road use?
Yes it is design for on and off road. Height of the portal axle is 4.5".
How much $ frieghted to Queensland Australia?
I need to check with our local forwarder and come back to you.
1 set portal axle cost is MYR15000.00 plus 1 year warranty.
Before we make this potal axle, you can request the portal gear ratio like 1:1 or 1:08. Currently our self is using 1:08 ratio.
The weight on each portal is approximately 50kg. However since it is fitted to the wheel, there is little impact on the suspension. Due to the weight increase there is 5% extra fuel consumption.
Intersting that the ratio can be customised, this would be an advantage to allow the rolling wheel diameter to be increased with lesser effects.
Current conversion rate - MYR15000.00 = AU5366.65
