Hello MattR,
Am I the aluminum deck lid guy? Guess so. Perhaps I'm getting a bad reputation for that. Answer to your question is no. I took JR's (Javadog's) advice and decided to sell it and get a steel one that matches my 69E, though I haven't gotten around to it. Since that time I have aquired 2 more of them so now three. I got a domestic quote from a company that is tied up with UPS and Fed Ex. They quoted me 27,000 yen for packing in a reinforced cardboard box with legs, bands and wood ribs on the outside. The total quote on a discount Fed Ex rate total was a astonishing 126,000 JPY which must be over 1K USD. I'm not finished looking but Ocean Freight sounds good to me at about 120 USD per cubic meter even in a steel crate I can build my self plus a few loading fees at the port which aren't painful. At any rate, I am not thinking about it now and too busy, nor did I or will I punch holes in even one of them.
Best,
Bernard
