Default Re: installing wheel weights conveniently

Well, I promised to post the results of my project. I had some help from a local machine shop to size and drill some small pieces of metal that fit into the head of my floor jack. The machine shop also drilled holes to make the rotor you will see in the pictures. The rest of the supplies were cheap bolts and fittings from local hardware and plumbing stores. The finished product is a little front-heavy, but I can balance it with my knee for now. Eventually, I am going to build a counterweight off the t-joint you can see in the pictures. From here I'll just let the attached pictures do the talking.
