Hi all. I’m shipping my case to LN Engineering and wondered what you all think should be the proper way. Here’s my crate- I was thinking of adding an additional board as a base, then mounting the halves directly to the base via the bell housing flange, bolts, washers, etc. From here, I can add foam if needed but I think it could ship as is- the box is a well engineered tank.

What do you think?
Should I connect the halves?
Would strapping it down be better?
Is all of this overkill? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Any advice welcome, thanks in advance- total noob here.

FYI- I still have hopes for removing that pesky stud, but LN said they could deal with it and there’s room in the crate.

I send the case in a 27 gallon yellow and black plastic crate. I line the crate with cardboard and wrap the case in a moving blanket. Zip tie the lid shut and put 2 shipping labels on the crate.
The big advantage is the shipping is reasonable and can go out from your favorite shipper. A pallet usually means freight. Not the end of the world but more work.

But to your question, yes, connect the case to protect the sealing surfaces.
