Did a quick and dirty check to see how flexy my frame is. Just stuck a laser pointer on the rear fender with a magnet and aimed it at a notecard taped to the front fender. Marked the position of the dot, then jacked the wheels off the ground and marked the position of the dot again.
Have nothing to compare it to, but will check this in the future after some restoration work. If anyone is game to try this, it would be interesting to compare.    |

I like your system! Nice and simple and provides useful data.
What jack point did you use? To compare to other cars, everyone would need to use the same location. If I had a laser pointer I'd try it just for fun. The cover fell of of my laser pointer last year so it doesn't work. I used to see the cheap ones for sale all the time, but now can't seem to find one. |
