    Wanted: 2 X 4kg weights

    Anyone got any they want to sell me? I'm in the south east so if I come and pick them up it would be handy for them to be down this way.

    8kg is my fresh water water but I'll also be looking for a couple of KG for saltwater so if you've got 2 X 2 kg or 2 X 1kg you interested in selling me too, it's worth letting me know

        I've got tons (Ok, not literally tons but you get the idea) of lead if various forms, 1Kg and 2Kg blocks are my typical but I might have some 3's or 4's if you want (I think they are 3's).

        I'm going to Crawley after work tomorrow so could drop off on my way.

          Sorry, I've only just seen this..... do you have any 4's you want to let go? I'm happy to drive over to bracknell if so.

          I've worked out 8kg in my harness works out perfect for me in fresh water, then I'm just after some additional ones for salt water diving.

            Pretty sure I've not got any 4's, I can check tonight. I think I have 3's, 2's and 1's in block form so 3+1 or 2+2 would be as good as I can do. I think I have 8Kg of shot but you said you didn't want that.

            Will double-check tonight what I have

              I've got a harness and trying to put more than one weight in the pockets makes them wedge in so they're much harder to pull out in an emergency, unfortunately.

                Checked what I have and I only have 1's, 2's and 3's, no 4's. Sorry.

                  I bought the end of a roll of roofing lead from the scrapyard (paid under £2/kg about 2-3 years ago IIRC) and cut and rolled my own custom-size blocks for my weight harness. Much more comfortable to wear and exactly the sizes I needed.

                    I've got a load of it lying about, but no mould and nothing to cook it up on

                      Weights are just weights right? So these would do me fine I think...

                        Looks fine to me. As long as they fit your harness then yes, weights are weights.

                          Yep, that's why I went for the roofing lead (I also picked up some other scrap lead - but like you - no mould yet!)

                          Simply folded it into the long thin shape needed for the pouches in my harness.

                          So much slimmer in the harness and more comfortable. I made up different size packs for my twins and single cylinder setups, so I just put the size in the harness I need depending on which set I am diving with that day.
