Hi guys,
A few days ago, there was some talk of which balancing tool was best but I can't find it by searching. What was recommended?

Thanks guys, someone has them on e-Bay UK at 17 pounds 50c, so that sounds pretty good.

I bought a carbalancer and colourtune from MG owners club in UK, cost was about $80 delivered for the both I think....


however, I only use the tube from the carbalancer, put it in my ear and I get much better results than with the tool itself! :lol: the tube is nice and soft, and it's white so I'm not tempted to use it for something else

Got it from these guys and I have UK Paypal funds available, so it works out good.

Thanks

They don't appear to be selling them any more - that eBay trader must be the supplier to the MG people (and others) now
