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!

So if the wife comes back via Royal Mail, I should be able to bring back a few more kilo's of mini purchases :roll:

I'll try again on our certified scales at work tomorrow :?

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




Sooooo

2.95/3.765 x 1.9kg = 1.48 kg

Ha ha, I don't think its good science that calculation... :P

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 brought back a set of four Gaz shocks Inc boxed. In my carry on last year. My clothes were in my wife's bag and my check-in luggage was two Minitastic spring kits. Lol

Just to summarise:

3.76 crown wheel and pinion = 2.21kg (David E)
3.76 crown wheel and pinion = 2.22kg (Curly)
3.44 crown wheel = 1.89kg (timmy201) (don't use the crappy baggage scales!)
