l'll probably do 3 weights 2kg- 5kg and a 9kg for the Losmandy mounts and also do a range for the EQ6 etc as well as custom sizes as needed, l'm also working on one that fits at the rear directly behind the mirror of the Meade SCT's so you can centre balance them and then in some instances do away with the need for the conventional sliding system.

Do you still have these spare Gary?

I need 4 pcs of M5 threadded knobs with an outer diameter less than 30mm (Google turned up this old thread!).
