Trev, I checked out your RobinC counter weights. Shipping gold ingots from the US is prohibitively expensive! I wish

I went with a local engineering firm:
- 3kg and 5kg (I now have the complete Losmandy line)
- 3/8 threaded
- $125.00 + GST
- Bunning sells fantastic 3/8 threaded knobs, and I grabbed a length of 3/8 threaded rod while I was there. Drilled out the end of the rod, 1cm deep and press-fitted a bit of black plastic in there to prevent scratching (looks like the stock knob)
- Painted the weights with special enamel / rust proof paint

Done.
