Steve There are any number of ways to get lead for your counterweights. A auto salvage yard has used wheel weight lead for sale. A sporting goods or gun shop can sell you a bag of lead shot. A quick check of the yellow pages will reveal other sources.
If you still can not find a source, email me off line and I will give you what you need. I do remodeling for a living and am always removing old lead pans from showers and lead flashing from roofs. Brant Hollensbe [email protected] West Des Moines Ia
