ok Mr. Krinkle some pics to maybe help you out if you intend to make a few molds yourself.

These are 3/8 and 5/16 dia. tail wgts.. They are actually a 1/64 undersize of the actual 3/8 and 5/16. They need to be that small because of the buildup of sealer in the holes. I drill them right to size , 3/8 and 5/16. If you don't you will split the plug banging them in. I epoxy before I assembly and sometimes I need to take an exact -o knife and cut away the little bit of epoxy that will gravitate inside the tail hole on the edge.. easy fix though. If you want to make belly wgts. than you just pour them without the thru hole wire and cut to length you desire.
