Transporting a tailshaft

[malazn mafia]

Any tips for transporting an FG sedan tailshaft? Will be going via transport depot. Best way to package it to avoid damage, or will it be okay being sent just the way it is?

Inside a length of PVC pipe with a cap on either end ?

90mm is cheap, or 100mm if you want a thicker wall.

You may want to wrap the shaft so it's a snug fit in the pipe.

Just a thought.. Others may come up with a better one.

Cheers

Yep I've used the PVC. What about cut the tube each side of the mount and wrap it all with some 100MPH tape to a piece of flat timber ? A box or bubble wrap around the mount sticking out .

Definitely needs to be packed well IMO.

having been in the transport game and seeing how some guys handle freight, the pvc is an excellent idea.
