Hi Col,

I guess it depends on the counterweight bar diameter.

Claudio from A.E.C. is a 10Micron reseller and he has stainless steel counterweights in 30mm, 40 and 50mm bore diameter sizes. There are no prices on his website, so you may have to ring or email him.

Hi Col,
Before you buy, I highly recommend talking to Joshua Bunn about making you one. He recently made me a 10 kg CW for my G11 - it wasn't SS as I wanted to paint it to match my Losmandy weights. His price even with shipping from WA was far cheaper than Bintel. I believe he has recently made SS CWs for other IIS members, so should be able to assist you.
