I can't see this being a good idea.  I've never tried it, or taken proper
measurements, but my intuition tells me that there could be the following
problems:

-The wing nut might stick out too far and poke you in the back
-The lead may interfere with the tightening of the wing nut (its a very
soft metal)
-The lead may have to be too thin near the wing nut so as to bend or break
due to the thick and heavy middle section.
-I think the lock washer would end up embedded in the lead

Anyone try this?  Did it work?
