Does it have a part number on it ? Most AC weight numbers start with an "AM" prefix. How big are they (length, width, thickness, weight) ?

Looks like the weights used to balance an elevator car?

I've seen those before. I wonder if it's off a "uni-system"combine. We have a dealership down the road that sold them and still has quite a few units and piles of parts.

The universal answer to all questions is yes, how much do you want to spend?

Definitly not an elevator counterweight. We just take 1 inch steel plates and order them to the dimesion of the frame as needed. We don't bother painting them or rounding off the edges. Once in place and the evevator is balanced they are never handled or messed with again. How ever the overage does then become pulling weights here in podunk!!!! The weight of steel is .28 lbs per square inch, lead is .48 lbs per square inch, but in my case the steel is free!
