Repost...

The cost of 4 bathroon scales...
Plus some scrap steel ans/or wood to build lever arrangements tot bring within scales capacity.
You can even make do with 1 but slow and tedious.





Beware of what you wish.. for it may come true....

OK - Assuming I dont have the scales or necessary skills to correct any problems with the corner weighting. What are the costs for a pro-place to do it ?

Anyone had it done recently ?

make sure when you have the car corner weighted you sit in the car whilst it is being balanced.

This will give a better balance of the car as it has your weight in it whilst being weighted.

Or somewhere else. There are plenty of places which can carry out corner-weighting for you. Northampton Motorsport is one place which springs to mind which may not be far away from you.

Another method is, with a suitably flat floor, use a corner weight gauge such as this one.

If I were to pay-some one to do this I would defiantly call pro-comp first...
