Bream on Posted January 30, 2009 Report Posted January 30, 2009 Can I borrow the clubs lead weight moulds please ? Will Quote
Paul J Posted January 30, 2009 Report Posted January 30, 2009 Hi Will, Rob Francis is in the middle on scribing the club name on them. im sure he will respond shortly letting you know when they will be ready for use, if not send him a PM cheers PJ Quote
great white Posted January 30, 2009 Report Posted January 30, 2009 Will if you can not get them let me know what you are after I have about a dozen of my own. You are welcome to a loan of some or all. Most Bopedo sizes included. While on the subject does anyone have a good source of lead at reasonable costs. I need to top up the spare leads, but need the raw materials first. Charlie Quote
TomBettle Posted January 30, 2009 Report Posted January 30, 2009 While on the subject does anyone have a good source of lead at reasonable costs. Charlie When I was a nipper I used to get lead from tyre centres as the old wheel weights. The downside was you had to fish out the little metal clamps from the molten lead. But, it was free and I got it by the bucket load. Tom Quote
Adam F Posted January 30, 2009 Report Posted January 30, 2009 Good call tom - Gordon used to get ours from there too - if not free then a fiver for a huge bucket. Plus you dont need to cut up the chunks. Fishing the clips is ay enough. Quote
Manic Moore Posted January 30, 2009 Report Posted January 30, 2009 Unfortunately they are not allowed to use lead any more so most of them have run out of the old lead weights. Charlie I have a few sheets of lead left from another source. Will was going to make some up for a certain trip coming up soon . You are welcome to share it and maybe as the weather is cr@p at the moment we could combine lead moulding with a planning meeting? I will give my friend a shout to see if there is more but i will have to give a drink Regards Gordon Quote
Bream on Posted January 31, 2009 Author Report Posted January 31, 2009 Thanks Guys , looks like I'm sorted one way or another. Cheers Will Quote
Rob Posted January 31, 2009 Report Posted January 31, 2009 Will, Paul is correct - I have finanlly managed to put a collection together and tried a couple of ways to mark the club ones so they don't get mixed up when they are on loan. How quickly do you need them? I hope to have the finished by next weekend. I have also tested them all!!! Let me know your timescales and I will sort them out for you. Rob Quote
great white Posted January 31, 2009 Report Posted January 31, 2009 Hi Gordon that sounds like a plan I have Gas bottles here but my burner is smokey and less effiecient than it used to be. I will try other contacts, but if yours can source some i will reimburse the costs Charlie Quote
