ok, here's the idea - we post weight information for anything and everything
we weighed. this information comes very useful and has multiple usage, from
weight saving reasons (polyester stuff, lightened flywheels etc) to simpy info
that comes handy when you need to send parts by post.
please only post VERIFIED weights (weighed first hand by you on relatively
precise scales) of all the parts - engine components, bodywork parts, interior
bits, brakes, wheels, tyres etc etc.
this will stop people posting "how much does xyz weight?" and i will ultimately
digest it and make a nice useful list for use on the website too.
