Plate weights, kind of like these:

- They are separated into 4 stacks, each with a 25lb weight and a 10lb weight.
- Our machinist made shaft adapters with an od the matches the inside of each weight and an id, that matches a 1/2" bolt.
- 4 bolts are somehow (I can't remember) attached to the underside of the bridge.
We slide the adapters into the weights and the weights onto the bolts, then put a nut on the end and voila. This way the bridge is properly weighted, but we can easily remove the weights, so that we don't have to carry a 200lb bridge everywhere.
