<p>I shipped an MGA gearbox from North Carolina to Idaho using a
Fastenal truck. I attached it to a pallet (used, available for
free). For shipping overseas, I'd build a box over it. The pallet
makes it easier for the shipper to move it. <br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi * I am selling an MGB overdrive gearbox
to Finland (from the UK) * best deal I have found is with UPS
Standard. Any suggestions on how to wrap it * I am thinking I
could empty the oil, wrap in plastic, strap it down to some **
plywood * which would make it slide and not fall over * but do
I need to box it in? What have you done?<o:p></o:p></p>
