				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
