I sent a fender to Flori-Duh!! awhile back and our shipping dept. has a length
of chain (similar to dog tag chain) that they put around the small end of the
box and let it hang down. If it touches the floor, it will go. If it does not
touch the floor, you need to try making the box again. If anyone wants to know
the length of chain to make one of their own, let me know............... Brad
