Here are two photos of the installation. The 1st photo shows the tin "vessel" that I used with the shorter section that I installed forward of the firewall and above the engine mount (2nd photo.) I used a 3/8" drill bit to remove lead from each end until I got the weight exactly where I needed it (10.7 oz.)
Now that I've figured out that molding lead isn't black magic, I'll use the process in all future work.
