Off toppic, but how does that actually work?

It works on pressure.
You place it just under each wheel rim (at the top) and apply leverage until the car just lifts off the floor and take a reading.
Do it on all 4 wheels and compare readings.

At £180 someone ought to have a look at a Locost version - looks basic enough

There was a discussion on this maybe 18 months ago. I seem to recal a link to a site with diy plans but cant remember where. Worth a search or get snuggs to draw up mookys!!

I think the Race & Rally car source book by Alan Staniforth has a build plan using an old clutch slave cyl.
