Hi Richard,While I do not have what you want I have made some similar counter weights. Just take a tin can of about the size you want, melt some lead on your stove in it. When done, drill the center out for mounting and a radial hole that is tapped for the lock screw. This works easier than you might think.

Paul,I’m looking for a counterweight—about 2.5” – 3.0” diameter, 0.5” to 0.75” thick. Do you have anything like that or some stock I can drill a hole in? If so, I’ll be over tomorrow night with checkbook in hand.Richard Harshaw Cave Creek, Arizona
