Counterweights for lighter scopes?

I currently have two of these counterweights:

http://www.bintel.com.au/Mounts---Tr...oductview.aspx

One of these is enough for my 127 MAK however when using my PST one is too heavy for it.

Are there counterweights maybe half the weight of one of those that I can get somewhere? Wondering if they exist or not...?

Even second hand would be better!

I am trying to align my mount with the Sun but it always starts to drift out of view. I am just using the PST on the mount with the L bracket adapter. Is not having the counterweight making the Sun drift out of view or would it be my true North heading?

Cheers,
Stefan.
