From a 2007 forum string:

~75lbs for a 63-70
~77lbs for a 71-74

...hmm, yeah... 5-1/2 stone...

A friend needs an M20, and a member here has 3, but shipping is a killer.

Another member has some killer heads here, but same thing.

Lars has stronger beer. His measurement of error is larger there.

What you need is someone driving from west to east and back. Or vicey versy. With enough extra room for some parts delivery.

Don't look at me. I'm retired full time. I have no time anymore. (Why is that?)

when everybody is turned all the way up to ten... I've got 1 more! shipping isnt as bad as you think. weight, size, distance. i got a T5 shipped 200 miles for 70 bucks. you can do guesstimate on UPS and Fedex sites. it had a hunk of cardboard wrapped around the middle with a label on it. input and output shafts sticking out. actually good idea, cuz it gives package handlers handholds and tells them up front it is heavy. they pick up a box and get surprised by the weight, they are impolite to it...
