Check out the plumbing depts in the bigger 'fix it' stores. The pipes and taps guys use in around the hotter applications of the trade ie furnaces.

Keep working, I have time.

Actually I am just jealous, the guys who supply my tires are called Klimax Racing so they should know what they are doing BUT they keep using these clip - on weights. I keep telling them to use stick-on but it falls on deaf ears.

At least buying replacement wheels are so cheap now for my 81s that is irrelevant

I've had a clip-on weight fall off after the clip had rusted and broke.
Clip-on weights are ugly but since they're on the outside perimeter of the rim less balance weight can be used versus the tape-on weights.

Isn't Switzerland the land of the drive-by sound regulation that strangles all them Ferrari and Lamboghini exhaust music.

Yes, they just put up a sound meter in my village to demonstrate how noisy are passing cars; I can get it off the scale without max revs
