Where can one get lead bars cheap in NorCal? Lookin' to get about 400lbs. <BR> <BR>Thanks.

Proflight Towers in Modesto sells coated 65lb bricks... I think for ~$35. <BR> <BR>

Tire Stores they will give lead for free.

I got old elevator weights from a scrap metal yard for 30 cents a lb. Nice bricks 60 lbs each. Check it out

Uh, Joe, where's Norcal? That near Norco?

NorCal = Northern California

Joe, <BR> <BR>Last year Proflight sold their 65 lb coated new lead bars for about $50 each at the boat show. And, on the last day of the show they were blowing them out for $35 each - I got 6 - I guess they did not want to ship them back. <BR> <BR>The same new lead uncoated can be purchased for $0.50/lb at ALCO in San Leandro (just south of the Oakland Airport off of 880). <BR> <BR><a href="http://www.alcometals.com/default.htm" target="_blank">http://www.alcometals.com/default.htm</a> <BR> <BR>Coating can be done by the novice but it costs and it is a lot of work. I recommend Proflight. They do a real nice job.

The proflight bars - sweet! <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/97475.jpg" alt="lead">

What about so.cal. I can get lead Ingot bricks for $0.96 a lbs down here but $.50 a lbs. sounds better. Coat them with a do it yourself paint on bed liner like line-x?

I went to the show last Saturday and they wanted $60 for a 65lb bar. Maybe I should go there this Sunday.............<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/uhoh.gif" border=0>

call a metal recycler and you can get them for about .30-.40 per pound.

Found a metal recycler.Clean lead ingots for .30 per pound.

Jack, <BR> <BR>Where'd you find that at?

chuck, It was trash. but I found a place in Riverside and I am going to go look at it next week. When I talked to them on the phone they said they have 2000lbs sheets of clean lead. I will let you know next week.
