    That is odd.

    I thought the foam poured in there did the damage. But, that lead trunnion would also leave a hard spot.

    I might try to cut the lead back, maybe with an angle ginder and cut off wheel.

    I would probably try to shove a bunch of glass under the bottom of the lead piece.

    Ebay is a good place to find industrial scraps of heavy mat and cloth by the pound. Biax cloth with mat attached is the most useful. But, beware the ebay shipping crooks

    that's an interesting failure, was the that lead lump pushed out by some corroding rebar at the center of the ballast? The tear in the lead doesn't look like it was cast in place...

    (just in case ebay doesn't work out, you may also want to look at www.jamestowndistributors.com or www.defender.com and similar sites for glass & mat. you won't need much material to get that spot back in shape).
