Approx Weight of SC Decklid?
Hi,
Anyone one know the approximate weight of a standard SC engine decklid with no tail or grill? I'm trying to calculate the shipping cost to have one sent to me here in Australia. I cannot weigh mine as it is glass fibre with a whale tail. Thanks to all that reply. Cheers Bill

I have one that is completely stripped of everything and I'd say it was 10-12 lbs, (just compared it to a 10 lb dumbell in one hand, decklid in the other) double that with the hinges and grille etc.
Add the box and lots of padding for a safe trip across the pond and go for 20 lbs. (10 kilos) Check some of the weight reduction threads, they may have exact numbers for you.

Hi Bill,
Are you thinking of selling your F/G lid with whaletail? I am interested in getting one. Do you know how much it weighs? Rob 0419 419 424 |

D911SC,
I just bought one on eBay in Victoria but have to arrange a courier to pick it up. Sorry if my post read like I was buying in USA.a Rob H, No Idea what it weighs as it is still attached to the car and havn't decided if I will sell it or not. My Carrera 3.0 was tail less from new so am going to return it to original and see how i like that look. I probably won't remove my whale tail until the new one is ready to fit unless I do a trial fit before paint. I'm also unsure if the grill from my F/G tail will fit the new lid either so may have to find a new grill as well. I'll call you if I decide to sell it on. Thanks Bill

LJ851,
Many thanks for that. Now I just need to guesstimate the size and weight of the wrapping the seller may or may not use and I can give the courier the info to quote me. Thanks again Bill
