914 fixtures complete! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif)
Spent a lot of time getting the balance as close as possible. The tech article I tried (link above) to find the CGH didn't pan out. I think the problem was the cheapass bathroom scales I was using. The resolution needed is much finer to get any sort of accurate measurement. But through guess and check I found that placing the center of rotation about 1" below the 'lip' on the both the front and the rear (see pics below) yields a balanced stock 914 body (no reinforcements welded in). I can spin the car without effort and it will stop in any orientation without tightening the locking bolts. I'm really happy. Attached image(s)
