Phil.Taylor Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Just file them down a bit - lead is very soft - check each one as you go - some have probably got a couple of " high spots" that are causing the trouble. And round off the corners a bit - as Greg suggested. and when youve finished - spray them with a coat of primer so you dont get black leaded fingers & spoil your sarnies on the slope... Phil.

William Posted June 18, 2020 Author Share Posted June 18, 2020 . Thanks all. Will get the files out. Phil, I was wondering why my sarnies tasted A bit strange up on the hill! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Lunt Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 I have drilled and tapped M3 holes into brass weights which I knew were a tight fit in a ballast tube so that I could screw in a threaded 3mm dia wire to be sure to be able to extract the weight. If it was me, I would not just screw a large wood screw into a stuck lead weight as that is likely to expand the lump 'cos it is soft and exacerbate the problem. I would pilot drill it first. May need a long drill bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
