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 

Cheers gents

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

[Bulldog67]

half way to there bein a birty express then 

unfortunately after fuckin up the espace by filling it carpets with various oils (gearbox oil smells of cats piss ) 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?

[scrw]

you posted on shiply?

[Bulldog67]

nah, havent got that far yet, was gonna at least try the obvious couriers if i could suss the weight

[wildwood]

The Missus' bathroom scales under the diff??

that should get you in the dog house again!!!

[Bulldog67]

  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 

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?

[willo]

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

[Dave The Sparky]

How much of a rush is he in cos i will be heading your way at some point soon.

[Bulldog67]

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 

when are ya comin to the glamorous south?

[Dave The Sparky]

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 

[Bulldog67]

halifax and grimsby are next door neighnours arent they

[Dave69]

Hire a van normally £100 for a day and unlimited mileage

Posted from my phone as its quicker than the pc connection

[Bulldog67]

but cheers for the tip

Im down to £112 wiv a courier so far
