Weigh in

[AC-460]

My Homebush fibreglass with custom chassis and alloy headed 460BB weighed in at 550 front and 590 rear 1140kg ...no fuel underfloor exhaust at first weigh in for rego....since then added paint an change to active side pipes ....Front of block is 380mm behind centreline of front axle custom firewall

[400TT]

My wifes Contemporary with 351 Cleveland, top loader & Jag running gear weighs 1120kg.

It's fully painted and trimmed with all accessories. That's with 40lt fuel and tonneau cover, car cover, towels and I'm sure there is a girlie emergency kit in there somewhere.

I forgot to write down the front to rear weight bias, but it was only slightly heavier in the front.

Had the Cobra corner weighed today. Was carrying less fuel, maybe 15 litres in total.



LF/RR cross weight is not flash, RR is heavy. No, the driver was not in the car


Didn't do any adjustments at this stage as we're looking to get some more castor first.

Fuel system,Battery..Cockpit????

Over the last week of so there's been a bit of work done to the front end to increase caster. Once that was done the car was corner weighted again and the spring perches adjusted. Had about half a tank of fuel this time. Battery location has always been behind the radiator.

Result was LF 270 RF 301
LR 311.5 RR 345.5

LR/RF Cross 612.5
RR/LF Cross 615.5

Total 1231kg inc 91kg driver ballast

3kg is a much better result.

Steers a lot better now too.

Also used the opportunity to install the Corvette sump that I've had sitting in my Saudi apartment for over a year. The original sump had scrape marks where it occasionally hits the edge of my driveway.
