A 1.5" x 4" rod of brass off Amazon for $36 plus a few 5/16"-24 bolts and I've got 3 weights for the Gillo GT 25. I cut the brass rod on a band saw into 3 pieces, drilled an off center 3/32" pilot hole through each weight on the drill press, sunk a 1/2" bit down into the pilot hole for a 1/2" depth in order to recess the bolt head, then drilled a 5/16" hole completely through each weight. Took the deep scratch marks out with a sanding station. Weights are 13.5ozs, 11.5ozs, 8.5ozs. Just need to add rubber or leather washers and cut down the bolts a bit for the two lighter weights. Saved over $100, easy peasy.
