This is going to be a challenge. I want a top down silhouette of a Cerb.

Its to be used as a windows background for my four wheel corner weighting program.

The silhouette will have box outside each wheel containing a dynamic weight for each wheel.

It will also have a natty red pointer hanging over the top of the car showing where the CofG is.

Would consider a top down view of a normal car, but how many people love their cerb that much that they have ever taken a shot from the top of the car facing downwards??

Would the top of a Speed 12 do?

The green car is Olly's, I could get the unwatermarked version if it helps?

Could also p'shop it to sort the paralax out:

To give you an idea, I'm currently building it around this






Appologies about the widescreen nature of the development pic

Would just like it too look a bit more partisan than an sr8. The pictorial attempt at a CofG pointer would also be a bit more meaningful in a Cerb Drawing.

Julian/TT_Tim, if you need the un-water marked one, drop me a mail - it'll be a higher resolution as well (although is years old, so won't be huge)

Well, what do you think. If we could get the unparallexed version, rotate it 90 degress and cut it out of its background to go on the form, and then have the weight readings in red on the green?

Or do you think I should try and get it into a line drawing of a Cerb, like the car in my original pic??

With or without watermark, it's the best pic of a Cerb I've seen in ages, nice one!

I'll find the un-watermarked version and take it to work with me tonight and see what I can sort out. biggrin

I'd say go with the photo rather than a line drawing Julian .. it's a great pic as said above so might as well benefit from that smile

Sorry for the watermark (again), but I cringe at the thought of Haymark using my pictures !

Julian, this is about as clear as I can get the photo (& is now unparallaxed) - I'm still working on a line drawing.

Drop me a mail & I'll send you a copy (without the text)

Yep that looks great. YHM. Not sure whether line drawing or not. I think it'd do fine just like it is

Getting there smile, but not sure the car is in proportion. If not the target isn't going to mean much. Maybe the traget is a bit gimmicky?

You're a clever stick Julian. biggrin

I have a new pair of calipers that need the bleed screws and the fluid bridges removing, fancy performing your trick with pipe freeze and the bunsen burner again?

Could also 'test' your corneweights on my car. it was weighed at MIRA a few feeks back so I know what it weighs, but it would be very interesting to see what the weight distribution is like.
