Aboot ten yrs ago we moved to NC. My oldest daughter was in HS. One night she had a panic attack because her jeans were tight (no shit). Living in an apartment while our house was being built we had no scale. So off to the store at 930pm.
My wife put about 8 scales on the floor and stepped on everyone of them to find the lowest reading. The weights read anywhere from 100 to 112lbs (after being zeroed). Or quite a % margin of error. So does the scale have a cert sticker on it? Oh, we bought the lowest reading scale and everyone lived happily ever after. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) What you do for your kids... |

QUOTE again, on an appropriate shipping crate, 350 So you just proved my point. We have two conflicting statements made on the same thread QUOTE Ended up being 250 pounds in the crate (bought a shipping scale) ALL I WAS SAYING is that you cannot believe everything you read on the internet. So you must have measured in imperial pounds, and Euro911 is using metric pounds.... |

you just love an argument....that is plain to see.
Call it what you want, see how much it weighs on the shippers scale. |

QUOTE(bulitt @ May 9 2014, 03:38 AM)  How much did the crate weigh? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) Rather than building another crate from a pallet, I ended up using a crate that I had a 1.8L long block in.  I didn't get the scale until after I packed the motor into the crate, so I don't know what either weighed by itself - just the total (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)  I'll weigh the 1.8L long block at some point in time ... |

I didn't intend to create a heated debate (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif) ... just wanted a fairly accurate estimate so the buyer could get an accurate shipping cost (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
