Default a little extra weight for the 22

hey

with people looking to get some more weight over the back end of the 22 in mid-motor config... i had a thought, and made up a brass weight that screws in just behind the motor... weighing in at approx 22gram, it's not a lot but it looks pretty and is nice and low
if it's well liked, it could be worth producing a few,
but i don't know a machinist that could mass produce them

what you think?

Yes I'd take one!

So do you need a machinist to mass produce them? Like how many of these do you think you would need made? Could you not do them yourself like the one you did above?

hey

Right i've got hold of some more brass and made 10 more... slightly thicker, but for some strange reason they still weigh the same
must be a different grade brass,
anyway

they'll be £12.50, posted (UK)

PM me if you're interested
