| antimonious lead Does anyone know of a place to _buy_ antimonious lead for keel bulbs? (emphasis on buy, rather than scrap metal like tire weights.) Would also be interested to know how to buy antimony and lead seperately and mix it properly. SH |

| I don't know the market in US east coast, but I wouldn't bother to mix my own. "Ballast lead" is a well known material for metal dealers, it costs 1-2 USD/kg (2-4USD/Pound) in Norway. Regards, Ragnar Thor Mikkelsen www.MBOATS.no |

| Try Mark at Big Tuna Salvage in Ft Lauderdale. 954 792 2980 Lots of wrecks coming in from busy Hurricane season We just got 10,000 lbs at 20 -25 cents per pound It was a keel from a large boat, easy to cut up Good Luck |
