TheKevlarKid 581 Posted June 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 Guys, my couriers aren't competitive on small packages at all (stuff goes out of here by the tonne and on large pallets usually...). They have 17 postal zones for small stuff all with different rates and nothing is under £30+vat. Bib's has pointed me to a website - parcels2go.com They seem to have a whole range of prices and couriers to choose from which is way cheaper than I can organise. With so many of you wanting one, if I were to box them up ready to go, could I ask everyone sort their own collection out? It will be much cheaper for everyone, you get to choose your prefered courier and you'll all be able to track the parcel without having to chase me for the details. Dimensions of the package as follows: width 45cm x length 60cm x height 50cm Weight = 29kg Like I say, I'll throw in a crank shaft for free if you want one (it will fit inside the same box) but it's going to add an additional 25kg to the weight = 54kg total. If everyone who would like one could pm me their preferred delivery address I can get labels done and I'll give you my payments details and the collection address.

m6rk 80 Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 hey gav no problem sorting postage, we'll need your post code too so we can price collection / delivery Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheKevlarKid 581 Posted June 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 Pm me your address and I'll send all my details back. Cheers Sorry, if you could all let me know if you want a crank or not when you pm so I know to put it in the box or not. Ta Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately, Lotus have since scrapped off all of the tooling, jigs and fixtures for both the heads and blocks, so no longer have the capacity to process any of the bare castings. It's a real shame !
