Economy Bob weights
I have a V8 to balance. Normally only do inlines. I have a turner balancer but no Bob weights. Was about to make some but it’s like a one day project at least. Is there a reasonably priced source of these? It’s a road engine for a friend so they don’t need to be all bells and whistles.

Make them or buy them
Either way unless you intend to take on V8 work you are moving backwards financially.
Friend work is always expensive, yes?

indeed.
well, he has a top body shop and has painted my '73 bmw 2002 tii for me in return. fair trade i think
i'll probably make the v clamps and just turn some pieces of brass stock to exactly the weight i figure i need. no point in a full set of adjustable weights. but if i do end up needing it again at least i'll have the clamps made and ready.

Fair trade? !! I think most of us just thought "I need to raise my rates".
That BW will work. It was the way they were made for decades before the universals we know today came along.
