thats just wrong......







chris :(

That must not have been packaged very well. Or they (FedEx) really tried to break it.

Mark took a hammer to it......

Dropped it on his toe!

on an unrelated (kinda) topic, i just got a box from amazon.com with 2 books in it that looked like it fell outta the truck and ran over by the entire fleet! luckily the books were ok, but the box was TRASHED!

Aargh! I'm at my wits end about shipping anymore. I've had more damage claims in the last year than in the prior 14. Both with UPS and now FedEx. :mad3:

I found another diaphram housing late this evening. It will be on its way to you shortly. :)

Hey Mark maybe fedex droped my rear hatch on his carb.

I worked at ashipping company once and FRAGILE ment do not throw above 6 feet high!!! :D

Thanks mark!, I really appreciate that. Didn't get a chance to mess with it any last night...getting ready for daughters 4th b-day party on satruday.

Well, when Mark shipped me a carb, it had so much packing that my wife kicked my ass when I opened it in the house.

Been there. I worked for UPS throwing packages in and out of semi-trailers on the midnight shift for about a year. I learned to package things 'bullet proof'. no one intensionally tries to break stuff, but shit happens. Plus you're trying to load/unload a 40 foot trailer in about an hour. You don't have time to read "fragile".

A good practice to do Mark is line the inside of your box with pieces of 1/4" plywood. It helps a lot, esp. with heavy metal stuff. I've picked up a heavy box, the cardboard rips and the contents stayed on the ground.

Ben, I think I got a big enough box, and a different carrier for the vacuum secondary:

LOL very nice! Thats cool! The vehicle runs awesome now...one of the best things I've ever done to the cruiser...if not THE best...thanks again for a kick ass rebuild...It ran definitely better than I expected.

Here's my Kudos thread on mud...
