Max total 600kg should be alright for most Locosts shouldn't it unless you've got some horrendous front:rear split but then you should
probably sort that out rather than doing corner weights!!!
Digital scales are crap, cheap ones anyway. My mate bought some when he went on a diet and celebrated when he got down to 13 stone. I weighed myself on them and I was 8.5 stone, that made them just 2 stone out.
Don't fancy rolling my car onto scales with a glass top, tempered or not!
Hi but to corner weight a locost weight car you are looking for 2kg here and 2kg there.
You won't get the acuracy with that method for this weight of car.
cheers matt
Surely you also need to know the car is level, jacking a wheel off the ground maybe okay on a LR. For us 1mm may make a differnce of 5kg.
Cheap scales should be okay though as its not weight you are interested in but balance. You just need to load each scale with 125kg and make a note,
this then provides a datum when you poke under the wheels. Just calibrate when loaded.
But I do agree, its a good idea.

find a test station that has an atl test lane , mine has load cells which give you each wheel weight and ive corner weighted my kitten using it
