Does anyone local to Camberley have a set of scales I could borrow to set corner weights on a car weighing around 1000kg.

Failing the above anyone know where I can get this done locally.

Car is an all aluminium E Type

Can you do it at your local council recycling centre? They normally have drive on scales (weigh bridge?)

Search public weighbridge.

I live in Newbury and use a public weighbridge in Tadley at £10 a time and provide a ticket with the numbers. The breakers I use, A4 Metals in Beenham, will tell me the weight but won't give me anything written. Because it's unofficial they don't charge. They appreciate biscuits.

ETA try the breakers at Blackbushe

Do weigh bridges do corner weighting? I thought they just did gross weight total?

I’m pretty sure OP is asking for delicate suspension setup work. I recommended Blackboots / Wheels in Motion in this thread, and it seemed to go well for the guy who was asking: https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...

Amersham is a bit of a trek from Camberley but might well be worth it. Give them a ring?
