Hi, I want to add some weight to my xxx-cr, but I cant seem to find any lead weight on any of the sites I try (google brings up some strange results). I'm obviously not looking/searching using the right keywords. Does anyone know where I can get those little square blocks of (I assume) lead from???

go to your local ATS/Kwik fit and they will probably give you some, they use the same stuff to balance car wheels:flower:

most model shops will sell it. comes in a little strip of 10 and 5 g squares, with double sided tape. normally only £3 ish.

As mentioned, a local tyre dealer is where I get mine. Usually about 50p a strip;)

does it come in the little squares? i thought theirs was designed to clip round the rim of the wheel?

They come as a strip but will split into seperate weights easily. DC Racing has them.

I use to buy lead that they put in the kil (spelling?) of rc sail boats!
Its small lead balls that goes in to all small places in the front bulkhead :D
then you seal it with melting glue, shoe goo or epoxy. . . . . . . .
