    This man is a genius!!! (corner weights)

    For corner balancing, an array of 16 scales from Ikea. $6 each. I know where I'm headed this weekend. That is FANTASTIC. LOL

    looks like he just bought 4 standard people scales per wheel and made a jig to center each tire weight in the middle of them...

    I'm guessing add up all 4 scales on each corner for each corners weight.

    We follow the earth. The earth follows the stars. The stars know their way and though the body dies. The stars will remain, like the waves of the sea and restless slate.

    Just add up the totals of each array. If the total capacity of each scale were 300lbs for instance, you would have a total capacity of 1200lbs for each corner.

    I've actually seen that done with two scales on each corner on super lightweight racecars. Definetly an inexpensive option. (particurly now that you can buy a pretty accurate chinese bathrom scale for $6... lol)

    Another thing I've seen done, is to make a small platform with a fulcrum to give a mechanical advantage to a single scale, and just multiply the reading by whatever ratio is built in.
