Im trying to find the weights of the AMC 20 and Dana 30 axles to work out a shipping price to Jedi (Maidstone to Lincolnshire), anyone got any links etc or ideas?
And anyone shipped large axles? They are too big for a pallet, and altho I can lift and shift the 20 on my own for short distances im not even sure a courier is gonna take it as I have seen some very McWimpy drivers pickin up my stuff :003:
Cheers gents :greggmo:
-
no idea on couriers but I'm driving to Louth at the end of July and could probably drag em up if they are on a trailer and they were a bit nearer me to start with
-
half way to there bein a birty express then :003:
unfortunately after fuckin up the espace by filling it carpets with various oils (gearbox oil smells of cats piss :003: ) I am on a ban for putting axles or owt else in the xc, and it will be cost prohibitive in the Chief - so unless anyone is goin Bristol ish way via maidstone .......... ?
-
About 250lbs each.
Cos the 14bolt and dana60 weigh 520+ each so half that????
-
you posted on shiply?
-
nah, havent got that far yet, was gonna at least try the obvious couriers if i could suss the weight
-
The Missus' bathroom scales under the diff??
that should get you in the dog house again!!!
-
:003: doghouse indeed today - revealed plans for an increase to the stable by 3 additional amc beauties + 1 other in the next fortnight and kaboooom!!!
I dont get her sometimes :003:
Anyway, i tried scales but they kinda freaked
-
Stick em on 2 pallets or one biggun then give steve porter a call. I know they are an island bunch but they have contact cuntry wide and have fork lifts on the back of their lorries. Where is jedi at anyhow?
-
Itd prolly work out cheaper to hire a white van for the day and drive em up
-
Give these guys a shout. Not only wheels but all kinds of carparts.

Jedi is in lincolnshire
I reckoned from the off a van for the day would be best but may as well have a look around
-
How much of a rush is he in cos i will be heading your way at some point soon.
-
will leave that to Jedi to say Dave, but cool offer cheers
best quote so far is £200 which is a fuckin joke, i could get an entire truck done for less than that :jpshakehead:
when are ya comin to the glamorous south?
-
Cant say for sure it should of been last month! but im going to have to take a trip down to Lewes fairly soon to check the site out and find a decent pub/ B+B to stay in for two or three weeks. So if Jedi can hang on for a few weeks they can get thrown in the Hilux and i can meet up with him somewhere up the A1 or they can come back to Halifax until he has time to pick them up.
WIll only cost you £199.99 :hysterical:
-
halifax and grimsby are next door neighnours arent they
-
Hire a van normally £100 for a day and unlimited mileage
Posted from my phone as its quicker than the pc connection
