I plan to purchase a PC in the not too distant future.
I`ve read posts mentioning a counterweight. I have a few questions:
1) Is that an additional accessory?
2) If not how much does it cost?
3) Do you need one if you`re using original size backing plate and pads?
4) How do you install it?

Order it from www.coastaltool.com (http://www.coastaltool.com) and the 6" counter is included for pads bigger than 6.5" and the velco backing plate is included too, it would normally cost another $20 to buy these. It`s an awesome deal!

armoredsaintt,
Thanks for the info. I searched a little better and found out how to install it.
One last question ... Does the counterweight have 5`` or 6" stamped on it?

Well, I can`t work out how to change the counterweight in mine... :( Can`t get any screwdriver bits to fit!
Any ideas anyone?
Cheers,
Matthew
PS what`s the little washer-thingy for?

Mathew...the screws are torx screws, T15 from what I`ve read. If you have some metric allen keys, they will also fit. For the washer see this
