Finishing details on BC7

Many years were required for me to realize the phenomena that the habit tendency inverts into opposite direction being influenced by the effect of self-steer action that appears with the accelerating speed, and the inflection point would be approximately 60 to 80 km/h.

This is the key to know the discrepancy precisely of the wheel alignment and constructive geometry of the production vehicle. Also this is the truth that the final adjustment to overlap the centricity of the vehicle with that of driver's sixth sense(another way to explain about this point is not found) must be attained until actual driving test and precise adjustment would be performed with keen concentration.
Frontal total toe value reduced into 1,5mm (Tire outer diameter scaling method) brought good result on steering response and rotating noise while straight running phase.

As the tire balancing weight comes up to 20 gr, the positioning relation between the wheel changed into 180 degree rotated position on two frontal wheels. Necessary adjusting weights had been far reduced as I imagined.
Though I knew that the balancing weights were made from small rectangular iron pieces with both surfaces adhesion tape, all of them were removed and rebalanced with conventional lead weight with clumping nail onto wheel outer surface.
