[QUOTE="pollyp, post: 647070, member: 4527"] next issue with corner balancing was providing a flat level platform for the wheels to rest on. previously I'd have to use the water-line technique (long clear tube between bucket of water and a vertical stick) [url]http://micra.org.uk/threads/pollymobiles-rebuild.35251/page-73#post-564575[/url] [IMG]http://micra.org.uk/attachments/dsc07845-jpg.29886/[/IMG] that was a very long tedious task wating for the water level in the thin tube to stablise and slightly inaccurate. instead I thought about using a rotary laser level, like what construction sites use. place it in the middle, level the device to draw a flat level laser line, adjust the 4 platform heights till they're flush with the beam n sorted there's loadsa types of laser levels of all sorts budget but I got a low cost manual adjusting rotary laser level for £48 that does the job [ATTACH=full]26407[/ATTACH] [URL='http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Hand%20Tools/Lasers/Rotary%20Laser%20Kit/d10/sd2811/p85472']http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Hand Tools/Lasers/Rotary Laser Kit/d10/sd2811/p85472[/URL] [ATTACH=full]26408[/ATTACH] here's a very useful video for calibrating these devices. I thought the spirit levels were aligned from factory but apparently not. [media=youtube]5qN-HiHoVuA[/media] so now with the rotary level aligned I just put the device in the middle of the garage, tweak the dials till the spirit levels all flat and turn it on, simples. awaiting the new 300kg scales next week [/QUOTE]
