I haven't had much like finding the weight distribution for my 62 544.The only source claimed a 50/50 front to rear weight distribution.This doesn't seem very likely.Can some give me the correct info,thanks.

    Carefully inflate the tires to the same pressure - find something that you can spray around each contact patch that will leave a mark, but will not damage rubber.

    If you inflate to 30 PSI, each square inch of contact patch represents 30 pounds of weight.

    I have read that stock car racers on a budget use this method.

    I was curious about my 444 with B20. It is easy to weigh yourself with two bathroom scales and a board between them. Move from wheel to wheel, keeping car level with boards under the "not being weighed" wheels.
