High-temperature adhesives. That page shows adhesives that are rated for 3000 degrees F. If those weights are pure lead, their melting point is 623 degrees F. I don't think it's necessary to worry about the adhesive, I'm sure they would have used something like that. How about the lead...I'd assume they used an alloy good for at least 1000 degrees.
A 2000 degree adhesive is accompanied by this picture which coincidentally looks a lot like a brake pad:

Uh, that IS a brake pad. And It appears the point of the picture in relation to the article is that the adhesive that they use to put the pad on the metal base is this type of adhesive. So then we can conclude that adhesive CAN be used to last on brake callipers.
Great find dude.
