    Hi,
    I am looking to source around 20kg of lead or other metal in small pieces as I am racing karts this year and I need to meet the minimum weight requirements.
    Does anyone have any weights that I could use or point me in the right direction as to where to find them.

    Thanks
    DJ

    Any builders providers will sell you a roll of lead roof flashing for not alot of euros.

    Easy to cut into strips and combine/mould to a specific shape for extra ballast.

    A roll of 6" lead weighs about 19 kg and costs about 60-70 euro. You can score it deeply with a stanley knife and it just tears off the roll, then you just roll it into shape.
