Anyone have any recommendations for "trimming" the lead counterweights for the
intial install? What type of cutting tool is best suited for the task?

Howard,
Best tool? Good question, cutting lead is messy. I used a hack saw with 18
tpi and got fair results.

I did the first trimming with a hack saw and some oil on it to facilitate the cutting
get away. I works fine. The final trimming will be done after the painting job,
wit
drill bit and oil again.

I used a bastard file. Use it one direction and have a wire brush for
cleaning the metal out. This worked best. Finish up with a smoother file. For
a
great finish lightly hammer the edge.

Howard,
Sometimes I think the only clean way to trim the weights would be with an
axe. I'm not that accurate, however.
I pre-trimmed my weights on a mill. I first milled them thinner to give
more clearance between the elevator and HS. It also gave a nice turned
finish which I clear-coated. I tried cutting them to size on a bandsaw and
it can be done. Do not let the lead get hot! Cut a little at a time if
you have to. Aluminum cutting oil seemed to work best. I didn't try a
wood blade but it might work better than a metal cutting blade.

I found that a wood rasp worked well to fine trim the weights. I think that
in the end you will have to trim the weights again when you do the final
assembly to get the elevators to be neutral with the stick weight factored
in.

Hi Howard
Here is my two bits worth - I have over 30 years autobody repair experience.
When doing lead filling, I used the equivilent of a "vixen" file. Very
fast. Clean. Doesn't clog. Get exactly the shape you want. If you get a
new file, try to not cut your fingers - because they do cut!!
Now you have one more method!
