I'd assume the body is identical. If so, then weigh an old and a new....are they close? If not, then cut the wire and pop the tail weights out ....are they the same. If not, add some weight (either drill for a larger weight or wrap lead wire...fly shops have it). If they are, then likely the eyes are affecting the aerodynamics........pop them out and epoxy the holes flat with plumbers epoxy. Replace hooks with cut VMC's. It won't be pretty, but it should cast the same.
