I've never seen these for sale before, anywhere, ever !

These are drivers side . . . both of my D/S trim parts have dinks.

I'm VERY, VERY interested in these . . . but they're 70" (5'10") long.

Any ideas ?

You would probably get those in a poster tube mate, i think USPS has a length limit but not sure on that

edit

max length on priority usps 108"

Jeeze didn't realise they are that long

sixpack2639 · October 18, 2007, 06:44:30 PM

Erm, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Max length for USPS is 60".

The 108" is Max overall for a package, length + girth combined, ie. if a package is 60" long the girth can't exceed 48" or a box measuring 60 X 12 X 12.

Please don't shoot the messanger!!!!

That's what I thought - what about <shudder> UPS or similar ?

It's gonna amount to a 6" diameter tube, 6' long.

sixpack2639 · October 18, 2007, 07:06:50 PM

You're looking at approximately $150. to $200. depending on carrier.

Roadkill · October 18, 2007, 07:11:18 PM

I'll see how much it goes for . . .

sixpack2639 · October 18, 2007, 07:35:53 PM

Right then, i'll start hunting a 6' tube to ship them in.

Roadkill · October 19, 2007, 03:22:51 AM

Normally I'd say i'm skint and leave it . . . but they are sooo rare . . . and it's the only piece of trim (except a couple of bumper ends) which are damaged on mine.

I was working on the pythagoras theory that it could fit in a box on the diaganol.

ianjpage · October 19, 2007, 05:33:50 AM

Blimey..nto bad price if they that rare then....wonder how much it go up by!!!

55starchief · October 19, 2007, 05:36:08 AM

location Springfield, Missouri, United States

Will be there next year with the power tour

could always get them delivered to mikes place

Motorama · October 19, 2007, 05:36:38 AM

Do you know anyone bringing a car over in the near future, you could get them moved inside America then they could catch a ride over with the car.

I'm guessing you're not in a hurry for them

55starchief · October 19, 2007, 07:31:48 AM

Actualy if you packed it in a paralelagram the longest side would be shorter than the diagnal length depending on the angle of course
