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.

Bill - can you not find one here in Aus? I know in Melbourne there's a couple of wreckers who would have them.

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?

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
