that was an ouch moment for sure!! We have all done them. I expect to need to put a few pounds in the nose of mine, will get the lead weights they fit to your car wheels to balance them and silastic them inside the lip of the cowl. Hopefully that will keep the extra weight to a minimum.
You are blessed to be able to have work and have the worry of lining up days off mate. I hope to be still working at that stage too, unless I win a few $mil in lotto !!
cheers
