Weight????
 

I have to bolt about 250 pounds to my car. Whats the best material.
Both in cost and ease of installation?
I don't have to hide it. I can bolt it to what is considered the frame (front frame horns on a unibody car)

I broke a flex plate. hope to have it running by next week.
But i seriously need to add 250 pounds before I can run it for real.

At the last race in Fontana I saw a F/S Camaro that had 2" steel plates that weighed 50 and 100 pounds each. The owner made a nice bracket that had the right bolts to hold them down. I liked the idea and saw some plates at the gym that would work.

Hey Art........ when I was driving the Bantam for Dave Ring, we had to add a bunch of weight...... Al made weight bars out of 2x4 tubing and we filled them with lead........ they were about 3 ft long and we bolted them along the bottom rails of the car....... you might be able to do the same thing if you have the room...... go from frame horn to frame horn...... and you might be able to stack them...... but use the right bolts...... NHRA are sticklers for that....... we melted the lead, but I would prefer lead shot to be able to adjust the weight.......

I need to build a weight bar. Years ago I knew what a cubic inch of lead weighed. Easier to build a weight bar when you know how long tubing of a given size you need to use. Does anybody know what a cubic inch of lead weighs?

Thanks, Ed

I read lead is 6.53 ounces per cubic inch
