Phil, My inspector and the LAA were entirely happy to have a lead block
bolted on to the front of my sternpost - 3 lbs in my instance but they
would have accepted more. Have you worked out what the ideal position of
your C of G is? - that is one where you can accommodate any sensible
combination of crew/fuel/luggage without needing to do calculations?

the stern post but wondered if it's strong enough or may be each side of the
tail
wheel spring.
