Title: How to ship an axle for $19
Post by: broken1 on September 28, 2017, 04:45:35 AM: I found a great way to get cheap shipping on an axle. This one is going to Hawaii & since shipping there is so expensive I ended up just cutting the axle into 3 piece's & was able to get it into a large flat rate box with the sprocket hub still on. Since the axle is hollow it will be easy to put a piece of 3/4" rebar in there for reinforcement & weld it back together. Have fun with the fab work Josh :)
