Take 1/2" or 3/4" copper or brass pipe cut into various sizes, whatever
fits over CG in fuse. Drill hole in about 1/2" away from middle and insert
bolt. (This is important as lead is hard to drill.) Now melt lead and
pour into tube. I made a funnel out of sheet aluminum. Drill a hole in
bottom of fuse 1/2" in front of CG. Now slide into fuse drop bolt through
hole install nut or wing nut.
I did this for the Emerald. It was tricky getting the ballast in and
out. Long tools were required. But it worked.

I'd like to add a provision for ballast to my Sapphire.
Solid steel wing rod??
Just a thought.
