Anyone made up thier own cornerweight guage?
Thinking of making my own up, but not the bathroom scale type.
Anyone had some success?

is it worth going to a lot of bother since unless you suffer from yo-yo dieting you will most likely need it only once.
the scales seem a cheap solution

Needs checked every so often springs settle particularly in the first 6 months use.
One way to do is make up a hydraulic load using a pressure gauge and a hydraulic cylinder

I looked at the idea, but then someone lent me one!
Here's where I found a design:

I was toying with idea of using a small cheap bottle jack as the cylinder.

BTW: It is worth doing - my car felt very unsettled, then I used the gauge and found that there was a diagonal bias (right heavier than the left at
the front. left heavier than the right at the back.)
Balanced it out as best I could, and it felt a huge amount better afterwards.
