marktheherald Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Hi, can anyone tell me the weight of a 13/60 engine, (as removed from car with most parts still attached, e.g. flywheel/clutch/manifolds/w-pump etc.) Also , before I break the bathroom scales, how about a diff as well? This info needed for carrier. Cheers, Mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 engine about 125 kg, diff is 30 I think (but easier to weigh!)Not telling me somebody wants you to courier the engine :o :oClive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marktheherald Posted February 13, 2008 Author Share Posted February 13, 2008 Hi Clive , a fellow member is looking to courier these up to Cumbria. Any thoughts ? I can only be home for collections at the weekends, so far the best figure is £50-£60 for a collection on a Sat. Cheers, Mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted User Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Sounds a bargain at that price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I'd second that!Unless somebody happens to be driving up that way and wants to earn a few bob.Whatever you do don't let them pay by paypal or you will be losing money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebrookster Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 As the buyer, I am looking to courier the engine as it still be cheaper than me picking it up, and happens to be ideal for what I am looking for (replacement 'upgrade' to the Spit, eventually for racing use). I am just hoping that the company in question will honour their quote when I get them the full details, but see no reason why not.Unless of course anyone takes head of Cliftyhanger's idea, and wants a holiday in the lakes?? ;DAlso, the sills on my car a fooked to put it politely, so whacking an engine into it may not be a good idea methinks!!

Clive Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Ah, good, and inside job. The courier quote is good, and the paypal thing is just that it is a real pain when selling on ebay that as the seller you pay about 5% of everything to paypal, including the postage. Then if it is significant buyers moan that you charge too much postage! I am seriously thinking of dumping paypal..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
