Well to balance it, good question:

I pondered on this and was trying to think of all the ways i could balance the flywheel, and came up with this not very scientific answer, i figured that the two magnets either side at the top would cancel each others weight out, and that left only the magnet at the bottom, so i just weighed it and @ 60 grams i added the replacement weight in lead.

Yes i used JB Weld to glue the lead on.
