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 :p 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?

it is a possibility :)
that was just made out of a scrap piece of brass i had and there is probably only enough for 1 or 2 more... i'll look at getting some more, poss a bit thicker and see how long they take me

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 :eh?:
must be a different grade brass,
anyway
they'll be £12.50, posted (UK)
PM me if you're interested :)

Looking forward to trying it on the track ..

got mine, very quick post from uk to Australia. Great workmanship. Keep up the good work.
I would also be interested in rear pivots blocks if you can make them out of brass.
