I got weights made with a local engineering mate.
Mostly they were old pulleys and all that was required was a trim to clean them up, with a round on the edges, and the hole bored to fit the shaft, which I recalled being 32mm.
They worked well, and when I got the Tak mount I simply got a plastis bush made to bring the hole down to 19mm which was the Tak shaft.
Now those same weights are out to 28mm on an AP mount.
Cheaper than importing, and just as good. If you get them straight from the lathe you can simply clear spray them, keeping the metal look, or use a "Stainless" look alike spray, I did.
Grub screw with a know to clamp and you are away. Piece of cake for an engineer.
