86 PT40 turning radius?

[sfedeli3]

Hi Greg,

While I have never "measured" the radius with a tape, I usually
need 4 lanes and a wide berm to turn mine around. Assuming 12' lane
widths (and I am occupying one) that would put the outer radius of my
turning circle at around 60 feet, assuming that the wheels are turned
before starting into the turnabout. Now that you have brought it up,
I'll probably go to the nearest empty lot and find out! If you do the
same, please share it with us.

Looked in the Blue Book and could not locate the info, and did a forum
search and also came up blank. We have to grade a ramp and a pad for
our bird and it would be helpful to know the geometry...
