Certainly have Phil, picked them up at lunchtime today

44" deck in the middle
and scales that are 12" by 12 1/2"
So ideally suited to a wheel base of 56"

Still some work I would like to do like build a mains to 9v supply into the underside of the deck for powering the scales.
When its finished everything should pack inside the 44" X 13" Deck section with the 20" X 12 1/2" ramps acting as cobers to protect the scales, but that will take time, if I'm lucky I may get the carrying handle fitted before the weekend.

I use to weigh my specials with a load cell at work, I think the 10 Ton crane was a bit over kill though, although it was useful for ploting the rising rate curve after removing the spring from the shock and learning how different shock lengths put you into different parts of the curve
