I use plates from my gym to do the alignment.
What I meant was I need a 90kg something (me with all the gear on) on the other side to balance the driver. The car weighs well under 1400kg now, so nearly 100+kg of driver, helmet, clothing, seat, seatbelt, steering wheel, etc is 7-10% of the total weight of the car.
I am spending a week with Paul later this year, so I'll talk to him about his vacuum bag experience. Always easier to talk to someone who has just started as they speak in plain language and their mistakes are fresh in their mind. Then go to the experts for the tips, then I'll look at maybe having a go.
Really want to try carbon fibre now, but I need to find some at a fire sale for it to be worth the expense for something like a door/guard/bonnet.
