Just to let you ( Queenslanders ) know, that I'm on top of this.....

Spoke to the supplier GMP Racing in Victoria, and the first thing I've discovered is that the WIRELESS set, has some real issues here in Australia.

For some unknown reason, they don't transmit correctly, and he suggested the CABLE type.

Corner Weight Scales | Computer scales | Car Weigh bridge | Car Weigh pads | Race Car flat patch | Racing Flat patch |

Basically the same equipment, but the cables give a more accurate and consistent result.....and are about half the price of the Wireless ones....

They're having a "special" on them at the moment @ $1,499-00.

Getting some opinions fom " Experts" in the club, and will make a decision in the next day or so.

There may also be other "gear" that would be of use by members....
I will give it some thought.

These scales , and maybe other equipment...would be available for all financial members...( and maybe we could hire / lend for a donation to others )

We'd need to keep this sort of stuff in a club register, work out where to keep it...

I'm happy to keep it here at my warehouse between uses, and when they're not away with some member being used, maybe a group of members could arrange to meet here to use them, and also my hoist if needed for other stuff....

Makes for a nice Saturday at the warehouse.... ....Sausage sizzle/beers/race car videos / cornerweighting / under car inspections and repairs.....You know the NORMAL Saturday....

Also we'd need to make a set of basic "rules" of use.....

like in the case of damage caused through misuse, and little things like that....but all this can be sorted, and should be a nice for the members to have.

Cheers,
Warren.
