Where can I buy certain counterweights?

I'm looking for a one unit 2.5 to 3.5 Kg. All the ones I come across are either less or more...

First one gives you a 1.8kg and a 3.4kg weight. Either that, or get some weight lifting plates and modify them - much cheaper .

I've seen these and was leaving them as a last resort. I already have 3x 5Kg CWs, and will be more comfortable with a single unit extra.

That should do to give 2.5kg. You'd just need to make some sort of adapter to hold them in one place

Just wondering if the 1.8/3.4kg set would fit the counterweight shaft on my eq5?. Cheers
