Had a look in the Dimensions & Weights list but can not find the weight of the Crown Wheel & Pinion.
Wanting to buy a 2.95:1 and may bring it back from the UK in my bag ?
Don't want to exceed by baggage allowance.

If all else fails stick it in your jacket pocket.

I'm not that desperate but I will have to cart it around for about 6 weeks.
It's mainly the domestic flights that I am limited with.
My backpack with essentials including iPad, camera & crown wheel & pinion may be a bit much !

They are getting tougher all the time, back in 91 one of my carry on bags was a 302 Boss cylinder head wrapped in cardboard and rope (a mate has the matching one)
Another mate checked in a new plastic fuel cell as his suitcase with all his clothes inside it!

I've weighed a crown wheel on our baggage scales and it is 4kg... Don't have a pinion free at the moment

Thanks DavidE
I'll keep my bag down at 20kg before I leave.

don't try to take it as carry-on, it could easily be counted as a weapon

I tried to take a pair of adjustable tie bars on a flight from Sydney once, they wouldn't allow it so I put them in my computer bag, checked that in and carried the computer in a shopping bag.

You should have seen the security with guns drawn as my brother had to empty his bag full of Ford tie rods for inspection after the x-ray guy freaked out. :mrgreen:

Crown wheel (62 teeth) = 1.9kg. That baggage scale must be a cheap one!

Stuff your dirty clothes and undies in a post satchel and send them back via royal mail so you can fit more mini parts in your suitcases! Royal mail is cheap!
