Low Cost DIY Rod Weighing Setup

Didnt work for me. How are you centering the rod on the plate? Are you using the part line of the cap onto a reference line or something? I would make a mandrel on top of that spacer plate so the big end is always centered on it. I tried to make concentric centering rings on both ends so I could flip the rod without disturbing the plate on the scale. You have to account for the fatter little end so it ends up looking like half a donut (big end riser and centering ring) around a piston pin on both sides. F'n cheap *** single sensor scales.....:BangHead:
