John, The weight is fine. The thickness interferes with neighbors. Just looking for the jig.

This would mean you'd end up with too heavy an action or too sluggish an action owing to the lead you add to compensate for the over-heavy hammers. Can't you send them back and get the proper lighter hammers for the early models? JD
