    A lot of people pour their own lead v weights.

    I'm lazy, I bought mine from Halcyon.

    Northeast Scuba Supply has them for much cheaper than Halcyon.

    North East Scuba Supply

    Not sure if they are listed in the online catalogue but if you call them they should have them.

    XS Scuba has a V or sausage weight pouch that you can fill with lead shot on 1 or both sides. I believe it says the pouch can hold up to 7#. It has tabs with grommets for the bolts on each end & a strong velcro flap to hold the shot inside. You basically just fill one or both sides of the pouch with the desired amount of weight. I did it with a pre- set soft weight bag & a funnel. I have 5 & 3# weights like this. Just be aware that if you fill both sides of the pouch, it can be a little more difficult to get things to lay just right as it tends to have a bulge.
