Fred,

You're more fortunate than most. I visited several tire stores/auto repair shops seeking lead weights, even if they were in a discard bin. The best I could do was order some lead from their source. I ended up with a 2-3 lb box of 1/2 oz lead weights with gummed backing. That box cost me about $20. I guess if you could get some dealer to save the weights they discard when they re-balance wheels then you'd have all the weights you could ever use. Someone on the list can probably tell us if these discarded weights have to be recycled. I think it's unlikely lead of any kind is wanted in most landfills. My original comment about thin (.028 in thickness) lead sheet related specifically to hiding the weight in an open-top car, i.e., gons, flats, etc. Charlie Charles Dean Speedwitch Models 2213 Frankfort Road Shelbyville, Kentucky 40065-9470 502.649.7012 www.speedwitch.com
