I'm not set up to post pics yet, but I'll describe it. Each flyweight occupies about 1/3 of a circle. Looking at it from the top (flat surface), there's a hole in one end and an angled end on the other. I cut about 1mm off the angled end, parallel to the angle and at right angle to the surface. i.e. a 1mm slice. Actually, the 1st time I did it, I cut slices as thin as I could, until it fit between the posts, all the way down on the surface of the flywheel. When it's not down all the way, you can feel it rock when you push on the ends. It's a little deceptive, because it has to move in as it slides down. But you have to get it short enough to sit flat on the flywheel between the posts, or the 802505 support washer will not rest flat on them. Once you get the 1st one done, use it as a pattern for the other 2. I cut it with a straight edge hobby knife; it cuts easily.
You have a gift of giving clear and good explanations !
