[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by simon1966 [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by KenLarsen Steve, I always make sure to add hidden weight to my empty flats. Most of my problems have resulted from cars being too light. [/quote] What technique do you use for this? There are not many places on a flat to hide any extra weight.. [/quote] I guess it depends on whether it's a fishbelly or straight body - mine [currently] are all fish bellies, so I was able to sneak in a few extra pieces of flat lead. Dave Nelson and Andy S. both have excellent ideas though - especially regarding the center-of-gravity issue.
