years ago we made our own fishing sinkers using babbitt, melts easy, a little lighter then lead, don`t know if it would hold up, it being a little soft

HogTown,
Those of us that rebuild Model T's (1909-1927) and Model A's (1928-1931) are always looking for good quality babbit to melt and pour for mains and cam bearings. It used to be plentiful in the grade and percentage needed for automotive engines but like everything else is getting more and more expensive all the time. Please don't shoot it up.
