I guess for $125, that could be the price of the steel alone. I know about longacre ones, but its too much $$. I am thinking using bathroom digital scales to improve the accuracy. If they have a 0.5 lb accuracy, times the lever arm, that would be around 2 lbs accuracy for the 1200lbs which I dont think is that bad. Maybe even 5lbs deviation wont be that bad for corner weighing. What do you guys think?<ul><li><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=4526637410">not my auction...</a></li></ul>

...which is what everyone used to use, after they transitioned from grain scales, back in the stone ages of racing.

They work...they're accurate enough, even for formula cars...and they're cheap. What more can you ask for ?

On a production-based chassis, ability to resolve &lt;5lbs. is a waste. I'm happy to get the crossweights to 0.5%.

digital scales. With slight fueling differences that could account for much of the difference, etc., i feel they were a great purchase and a true bargain.
