On this pic of a rear counter weight you can see two pieces of mallory heavy metal installed into the crank and then a drill point drilling to remove what was then excessive weight...
Thanks Jerry. Yes it sounds simpler than it really is. Is it similar in priciple to balancing tyres/wheels in that a computerized balancing machine tells you the location along the crank and the angle at which the material is added/removed?
Cheers,
Glen
