Dave,
The only place that I am personally aware of weights being placed is on
the spinner back plate. I presume that adding weight to the flywheel of a
direct drive would also work (such as Lycomings) but as you point out not on
PSRUs.
Frequently nuts and washers are put on the back of the nut plates holding
on the spinner or since my spinner was so close to the cowl, the drilled
holes in the back plate and put in small bolts.

Subject: [FlyRotary] Prop Balancing
I had a guy come see me about balancing my prop. He said the standard
method involves attaching weights to the flywheel. Obviously that wont
work
for us. How have you guys balanced your props? Where do you put the
weights? Can I attach them to the spinner plate? Maybe the prop bolts?
