echoz Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 It's all pubchat mate a kinda "it'll do till i can get it set up properly" i imagine anyways Quote
Matt Seabrook Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 If you want corner weight scales - buy proper corner weight scales! They come up for sale on Race Cars direct etc (Or I just sold a set on here). Don't be a pi**y and get the right tools for the job - it's the only way IMO. You are either going to use them enough to pay for themselves or go somewhere and have the car set-up anyway (Playskool are close aren't they?) Are proper corner weight scales more accurate than 100g a corner Fraser? The scales I linked to are accurate to 100g. If so do you really need that level of accuracy? Quote

No they don't Matt - that's the same level of accuracy. If someone requires Corner weight scales I would tend to think they are doing numerous set-ups on race cars - there is no other reason for them? (personally corner-weighting a road/occasional track car is a complete waste of time IMO and has no benefit whatsoever other than Pub talk!). In the padock you are often working whilst knackered and anything that does the calculations for you saves errors & more importantly time. Further to this it then saves making your own flat-floor leveling system for the pads because corner weight pads are standardised. There is no point corner weighting on a non flat floor - no paddock area that I have visited has a level floor! Although dedicated scales may seem expensive; they will pay for themselves in time and effort. Quote
Lurksalot Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 Frazer , there is no real fault with your argument , however I think it depends who you are aiming it at. With 95% of the population who want a car, they go and buy one , but here it would appear that the building your own is just as (if not more) popular. Logical ? maybe not , but a tad more satisfying at the end of the day, so if they same thought process is applied to bathroom/ corner weight scales .....why not!! If you can buy scales that can easily cope with the range fine ,if they all read differently , calibrate them, most garage floors are flat (ish) , so why not have a play ? Quote
