Nick,I have an Inclinometer and Im trying to find the best way to Re-set it back to absolute-Level.It looks like you might have to find level on the car,then zero on the guage,since there isnt a reset,right?

Thereminator,

You need to find the website that has the ATOMIC LEVELER on it and download the calibration data for your area.

Juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuust kidding! B)

You do need to just find a level paved area and set things to level there. If I was in a hilly area, mine would get more use.

Some day these will be tied into the GPS satellites and you won't have to do this.
Give a boy a gun-give a biatch a cell phone-and pretty soon you almost got yourself a police state.

My Inclinometer is 20 years old and was probably sitting in the sun for most of that, and has seen over 220K miles of vibration, but once I get it calibrated, it pretty much stays that way.

I think they built these RIGHT.
