Can someone tell me the weight of the internal jib boom balance weight that is being used? I've squeezed an aluminum arrow shaft(#2117)in a vise, to an oval profile that's a close fit in the Goldspar mast stock, and filled a 4" section with lead. The piece weighs about 2oz. I seem to remember 1-1/2oz. being mentioned somewhere, but can't locate the site. I haven't cut or assembled my jib booms yet, so can't cut and try. Just trying to get all the parts ready, and thought while I was casting my rig substitution pig, I'd make up three balance weights. They should fit better than the round slugs I was originally going to cast.
