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.   |

Very nice box!! I've always used a reinforced / HD cardboard box with foam padding all-around to protect everything. That looks like overkill and very expensive to ship. Just my opinion.

I agree… buuuut - It would be super clean and easy for everyone involved no? surprisingly, the box is lightweight 46lbs/21kg- would do freight. RE price- I’m looking to save as much as possible (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) have you seen the recent price for a 2563 build with DTM cooling. Guide me - I’ll use the crate elsewhere. Basically the goal is to keep it from clanking around right? I can see many ways- just took it off the rails here. It’s what is do and may still do lol! |

If they’re building up the motor. It’ll come back in a much bigger one. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
