Bill, Just a thought.   As the weight never changes, what about crimped
steel banding?  place the banding around the arbor rods at even spacing
between the existing plates and or a pair of bands around the weight stack
vertically so they would be highly unlikely to jump enough to dislodge even
in the event of a run-a-way?
