I need to see if we can do the measurements here or if the carrier needs to
go to Australian engineering. Yes, we will certainly pay all shipping costs
both ways. But if it has to go to Australia then we would need to find a
way to own the carrier as the cost of getting it there via air freight will
be very expensive, so we tend to ship things one way.
I will advise as soon as we sort it out. Does he have an axle that went
with the carrier?
Thanks again.
Bill
