anyone have the weight of an automatic counterweight (approx.) for those looking to know a total for aftermarket flywheels?

I weighed both a LONG time ago.
There is very little difference between the series.

I weighed all the major assemblies of my TII transmission swap (trans, clutch/flywheel, driveshaft), but I won't have access to the numbers for another month and a bit (written on a piece of paper some ~4500kms away).
