Wheel Balancing

[Chris KC]

Once again seem to be an exception on this forum and I do find it worth while balancing A7 wheels. They are often considerably out and this shows at the speeds I travel. I use a home made balancing jig similar to what you would use to balance a grinding wheel with, this seems sufficient even for A7 racing application in my experience.

Interesting Ian; but I can't quite picture how you mount the wheels - presumably on a mandrel of some sort, but does it pass through the wheel centre (thus supported at either side)?

My front wheels are slightly out of balance when spun on the axle without the brakes dragging but its not noticable on the road at 55mph.
I do find that my Blockley tyres are prone to flat spotting which is noticable till they get warmed up I store the car with 3 Bar in the tyres !
