Congrats on them BTW, I hope to have my '70 Spider running this spring.

Thanks for those reference points, Shaun. My parts probably are about as heavy - a cast-iron exhaust manifold and complete turbocharger, times two. Add a center console, large but light. He was getting quoted $400 by UPS. My car’s turbo was rebuilt in ~1991, shortly after my dad and I got it, but it’s got a bit of shaft play so it’ll need attention eventually, and my manifold is a bit warped. Rebuilds aren’t really available any more because the shaft seals are unavailable and it’s not the same turbo as other versions of the RHB6. Send a pic of your Spider! I didn’t know you had a Spider but I just realized I recalled seeing your handle on one of the forums or FB groups.
