Feeder Leads

Hi All
I know this has been done but I can't find the post relating to it. So here goes.
I'm after some feeder leads the kind that fit through the holes of the feeder then bend over on the inside to keep them on.
I'm not sure if they can be got in the size I want. Some thing between 1/2 ounce and 1 ounce would be great.
Thanks.

Jon's right they are dead cow leads and Bennetts had a decent selection last time I was there. If they only have the bigger sizes, cut 'em in half or just cable tie a bit of sheet lead on. If you like, I'll pick some up next time I'm there.

If you want self adhesive weights type "stick on wheel weights" into ebay.

Some time ago I used to use them all the time when a mate worked as a tyre fitter; However, he moved on and I started casting my own 'dead cows' from scrap lead pipe, scrounged from another mate who fits gas meters.
