Lead is getting hard to come by these days so I will give it a go here I will take what lead you have or can find I hope to end up with 50 to 100 lbs of the stuff by the spring of next year so if you can keep an eye open for me that would be awesome.

Hey Bill, In the past I have (in exchange for a case or two of beer) have gone to tire shops to ask for their lead that they rip off the balancers ... Sure you need to remove the metal clips, but the price is right! Also, try diving shops - they sometimes come across old diving belts which you can pick up for a song and dance. Will keep an eye out for you none the less.

Tire shops in BC are not allowed to sell or give away lead weights to the public its considered a controlled substance these days even the tire shop guys I know well will not give it to me if they did I would not be trying here..
Seems the guys who cast fishing weights have pretty much scooped up what lead was out their...
Was hoping someone had a stash of lead they did not need anymore..
Just about all solder is lead free these days too...
