Over the years of tinkering and struggling with setting up chassis, a few months ago the choice was made to design and build a proper set of hub stands or set up wheels, chassis string rig and related. Part of the motivation happened when I ended up with a set of corner weight scales over a year ago.
In it's current state, the LeMons exxe chassis has coil overs, adjustable camber and adjustable toe front and rear. What is not often appreciated is how modern and adjustable this chassis can be with some modifications. There are few chassis designed in the 1960's that offer this degree of capability even when compared to chassis built in today's sports cars.
Here is what the rig looks like:
That is me tinkering with the set up on the other side of the LeMons exxe:
Close up of the hub stand, corner weight scale pad with leveler and string rig and indicator toe plate:
Strings for chassis set up is used by most every race team to this day including;
Ferrari F1
Red Bull F1:
This was the first time we had the LeMons exxe out for a track test day at Thunder Hill which just opened a new 2_ish mile of added track. This makes TH the longest road course in America.
We futzed with spring rates, toe/camber/corner weights and .... got good results.
The real treat was this:

I have never ceased to be amazed at the size of those old racers and images of the drivers looking out along the sides of the car as they carved the turns.
