I can just lift one onto the axle from underneath off the floor, but putting a figure on it is not so easy, is it for postage purposes?

I reckon you have to allow a good 40 - 50kg, so you are looking at a courier of some sort.

Cant be 50kg for a single diff, I'm only 75kg!

I was thinking around 20 to 25kg?!?  Need some bathroom scales!!

Think the dam thing will be too heavy to post or just simply too expensive.

Anyone any ideas???

I would put collection only, no postage, would be very costly to send, I would expect the Royal mail wouldn't take as to heavy.

As Tim has said a courier would have to be used.

Just tell them that you will be happy to package it up for them so they can arrange for a courier to collect.

I imagine with the weight it wont be touched by the Royal snail, might well have to be a freight service

Let them sort it, tell them 50 kg with packing :wink:

I just had a horrible experience with a viscous fan I sold on the same garbage disposal site........sorry....may be of use to someone else before I bin it forum.....

Cost me more to post it than I received for the fan and the postage !!!

To celebrate, I advertised two door tops....COLLECTION ONLY....

A last tip....do not search on Google for differential weights unless you have a noose !!
