WANTED: counterweight 2-3kgs

Hi there everyone,
Just looking to see if anyone has a spare counterweight to sell that is about 2-3 kgs?
Don`t care what size hole it has but if its around 32mm would be good.
Its for my Losmandy g-8 as the 7lb is not enough..better still a Losmandy one!!
Cheers Gary..

Why dont you try a 2.5kg gym weight? I'm pretty sure the hole in them is already around the 32mm mark.

I just finished doing some gym weights...mine were around 30mm so they wont fit on G8 but I got them drilled out to 32mm.

Cheap alternative.
