I seem to have this problem with my weights getting slid to one side and wearing into clutch housing. Whats the ticket? Put new weights and bushings on and there pretty snug on the bolt that holds them, but after a bit they slide from the center to the side and start wearing at the aluminum. Is there a way to keep them centered or do you want them to slid easy so there more likely to slid back? Just seems like a poor design. Thanks
what is your sled, year, set-up? maybe a pic would help. Your description is kinda vague

You get some clutch weight shims from Comet that will work. Place these between the weights and clutch itself. I believe they are a stainless steel so they hold up pretty good.

They will look like these double-eared washers in part # 207869. You might get the whole kit and replace the bolts as well. The bushing kit may be useful, or replace the weights as the bushings have undoubtedly been worn allowing the side-play in the first place.

Thanks there. Thats what I was looking for. Should come with those from the get go
I've been using the AC shims for years and they work awesome, I just replace them every year along with the weight bushings. If the weight has worn the clutch badly where the bolts go thru, I file it flat again, so the shim has a good surface to rest against.
AC shims?? Those the ones in the commet kit?
