Anyone have any wheel weight lead to sell??

[vernon.45]

I am in short supply of wheel weight lead for casting. The tire and auto shops ive talked to around here already have someone their selling to. so im turning to the ODT, if you have any old wheel weights or wheel weight lead already cleaned thats affordable. Shoot me a PM and let me know, Thanks

Here's a lead on potential sources:

Some drywall contractors regularly do x-ray rooms for doctors offices and hospitals. These walls are lined with lead and scrap is always generated.

Make friends with a phoneman. There's a ton of lead-sheathed cable, and lead splice cases that get replaced.

Wheel weights are so 5 years ago lol. As you've found, shops either sell to recyclers or are using zinc or steel weights now.

I disagree dunkel i get five gallon bukets all the time and 70% of the weights are lead. I pour ingets in a large pot with a blacksmiths furnace and then use them in my master caster. But thanks for being so informative to the post.

Disagree all you want...maybe you get lucky with a hookup, but I've tried a bunch of shops all over town and have gotten the same story. And, it seems, so has the OP. I've also heard the same story from other casters on other boards from around the country. So congrats on your scores, I wish I could get that lucky.

Also may want to check with roofers, they get alot of scrap lead from old boots and roof flashing.
