Pinewood Derby Weight
To achieve top speed, your pinewood derby car must weigh-in at the maximum allowable weight (generally 5 ounces). An added advantage is that lead is quite soft, thus it can be easily shaped to fit in the best location on the car.
Some bodies are so thin, there is no real way of installing weight internally. This is a good solution to your problem.
Dimensions:
- 2 inches in length
- 1.25 inches in width
- 1/2 inches tall
- 2.5oz or 3.5oz in wieght
- *Measurements are approx due to different densities of lead supply
- FOR CUSTOM WEIGHTS WE CAN NOT DO MOLDS GREATER THAN 5OZ IN WEIGHT
Method of install is GLUE on. The bottom of this canpoy is flat. This allows you to adjust the weight to get the perfect Center of Gravity.
Please cover all exposed lead with paint. DO NOT sand lead canopy without proper breathing equipment. Lead dust can be harmful to children.
PLEASE TAKE ALL NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS. YOU HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED!
