can't spare a mold, but this is how i made mine.

buy 2 pieces of 1" thick graphite plate.. how ever long you want to line up the holes.

buy some stainless rod stock that will be the size of the hole in the weights.

drill a series of holes 1 inch longer than you want the weights that are the same diameter of the stainless rods right down the seam of the 2 pieces of graphite that you have clamped together.

use those holes as pilot hole to drill out the size that you want for your tail weights. drill only as deep as yo want the size of the weights to be.

carefully drill through the 4 corners to allow a 1/2 stainless rod to slide through to hold the 2 pieces together and not slip when you clamp before you pour your lead.

spray stainless rods with wd40 before you pour so they slide out easily.

You can easily do the above.

I have a older one that I drilled myself that I could lend out.

Nobody calls me Lebowski. You got the wrong guy. I'm the Dude, man.
