Have you taken a look at Budgetraceparts.co.uk ?

New for a lot less than the Longacre ones, I've got a set and they are very easy to use.

Thanks for the feedback. The Budget Race Parts kit looks good at 'only' £608, getting into the affordable range ,if it includes VAT a bargain I reckon, I'll give them a call tomorrow and see. Not sure I could be 🙆🏻d with using bathroom scales + not convinced how accurate they would be right at the top of their range.

Martin,

There's also the lever type of corner weight guage like this here or this here.

Or you could take a trip to my place an use my home made one!

*smile*Thanks for the offer Richard I may well take you up on that one once I've got all the new bits screwed on. So is your 'home made' set up of the bathroom scales variety?

The lever type are ok I guess but cant see them being as good/accurate as 4 X scales.
