I want to think that a strain gauge compression pad could be used, or
a strain gauge bolt arrangement to monitor the weight at various points.
(I wanted to put such a device under the motor mounts and try to determine
torque. - I even picked up a few Analog to Digital converters from
Analog devices to play with - haven't done anything with them, yet.)
Any view out there on the effectiveness of this approach? Do I need lots
of filtering for vibration?
Since I want one of these for myself anyway, if there is interest,
I'd be happy to embark on a test case.
Thanks,
Jim W.

Keith,
There are several ways to measure ride height with a suspended car but I am
trying to figure out a way to measure it with an unsprung chassis. May be a
way with a walking beam frontend. Anybody have an idea they want to share?
With Rose's body shape......I doubt if there will be appreciable lift but
I'd like to know.
