Dave W Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 My experience has been even if you pay extra for a concrete pad to be level, the best you can hope for is about 3/16" to a 1/4" over a ten foot length. You can just mark four areas on the shop floor [wheel locations] and using a long enough straight edge just build up pads so you have a level working surface. Number or letter the shim packs so they go back in the correct spot each time and also mark the areas on the floor. I also made a lever arm with a wheel pad that rest on my offical almost certified $5 bath room scale. Which has less then a 1% error for wheel wt. This is probably Ok for road work, but might need something a little better for the track. General numbers DaveW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
