Area Representative Paul Richards Posted November 26, 2020 Area Representative Share Posted November 26, 2020 Bit of a long shot but I'm looking for some second hand corner weight scales. Anybody got some they want to part with or know of any for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7 wonders of the world Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 plenty of 300kg digital platform scales on ebay for around £30 each accurate to 100g. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevehS3 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 How about the club buys a decent set and loans them out to members for a donation to the charity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrightpayne Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I remember someone using Ikea bathroom scales at £7 each! No longer available - all glass and digital now!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7 wonders of the world Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I still use analogue bathroom scales from B&Q, 2 per wheel with a bridge over them, simple and repeatable..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrightpayne Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Do you sum the weights of each pair to work out how its sitting?Looked at the digital 300kg scales on ebay and they look very good for the price!Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECR Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 I made up these and use £7.00 bathroom scales. The reading is multiplied by two to account for the leverage. I was concerned that the sideways thrust on the front suspension might jam the scale but it proved ok in practice. The tyre sits on a pivoting plate of a known distance to the scale contact point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Paul Richards Posted November 28, 2020 Author Area Representative Share Posted November 28, 2020 Thanks for all your suggestions. I already have industrial scales from eBay which are ok but they don't suit my purpose. I need some proper corner weighting scales if anybody has some.

7 wonders of the world Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 what doesn't work with your current one Paul....?4 decent scales and an Excel spreadsheet and you have the same data as ones several times the price... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Paul Richards Posted November 28, 2020 Author Area Representative Share Posted November 28, 2020 Industrial scales time out after a while and need to push car on and off to reset. Bulky to transport to tracks. Difficult to read when in the car makes it a 2 man job. Tricky to get them level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elie boone Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 I use Longacre scales, as proper corner weight scales they are fit for purpose. At race car direct you can find them sometimes sec.hand. The cheapest new one's are about 1K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7 wonders of the world Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 pretty sure I asked the question and the seller reply they are constant readout and don't time out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Paul Richards Posted November 29, 2020 Author Area Representative Share Posted November 29, 2020 Mine time out and whilst ok for occasional are unlikely to withstand the rigours of very regular use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
