Medical grade??!! LMAO, don't ask. Hopefully changed by now but sounds like if they're still using that antiquated wheelbase apparatus!!??!!!

Are you referring to that burette stand thing that looks like a piece of old t.v.antenna. Good luck for the future, John Kissel

Im not sure what the hell you are talking about. It was a genuine Fisher Scientific burette. What exactly would you like them to use?

What do you use to CC your heads ?

Asking a question. Why did only one car fail while all the others in teardown passed the wheelbase check? A measurement of 106 3/4 on a 108 W.B. is 1 1/4 short. The rulebook allows +/- 3/4 inch. Look closely at the Video. It looks like the rear wheel is moved forward in the wheel well opening.

Just questing but if WB is 108” it can be 107 1/4” to 108 3/4”. Everything else is wrong.
