I picked up a couple of 500gm and 1kg scuba diving weights which I fix to various parts of my scopes, depending on what configurations I use.
As the weights are relatively light, I use Velcro and I also painted the weights with a couple of coats of black paint to minimise lead handling issues, using lead free paint of course!
These weights are cast such that you can thread a nylon webbed belt through them, so adding some Velcro to the nylon webbing and perhaps a thin foam backing to each weight (to protect the OTA) might just do the job?
This also gives you the flexibility to add/remove weights as well as some control over where they are positioned.
Cheers
