What happend to the daily updates on the Round the World trip??
Larry
At this exact moment in time 6/1/00 2:12 AM, transmancat@bbnow.net made
the profound statement:
>Hi Guys,
>Here is story...
>UPS turn up and leave a transmission to be worked on, so far so good. The
>gearbox is packed in a cardboard box that seems swollen, sort of inflated!
>After I removed the plain brown wrapper I found out why. I had previously
>told the owner of this gearbox that we had a unit damaged in transit and he
>should pack in carefully. (my first mistake!)
>His solution was to place the gearbox in a box and then fill the box with
>that expanding construction foam. Now, the gearbox was not damaged at all by
>the shippers! but I had to carve it out of the box, which took 4 whole
>hours. That stuff goes hard and it sticks fast to everything it touches.
>Great idea, but what a job I had to get that crap off.
>So if ever you want some gearbox work done, and you have this idea about
>construction foam....please send it elsewhere! <grin>
>Regards
